To ALL Our New Folks, Please Read This!!!

Hey, yawl!!!

I am Landon and this
<<<<< is my kitty Smudge.

I have been a member here since August of 2012. I am pretty new at crocheting still but I am here to tell you that my crocheting really took off once I joined this forum. I have received support, encouragement and I have made just the best friends ever!!

If we don't all get to make the rounds of welcoming yawl, please, don't take it personally!! A lot of us have big families or we work a lot or both and anything and everything in between.

I am glad yawl have joined us here, this site is very helpful and encouraging and warm. The talent here blows my mind on a regular basis!! I have yet to see a question posted where help was not received.

I hope you find what I have found here.

Happy Crafting!!
XOXOX
Landon

Hi Ann, Have you checked out Ravelry? It is an awesome site with many, many free patterns. I just looked - it seems they have both!! Good luck!

Everything that Landon said! We welcome all whether you have been crocheting for years or just days everyone is very helpful! I started as a member in 2011 but not till the past 3 years have I really been on here a lot! I have been crocheting since I was 8 but really understood when I was 11 but have had so much help from so many friendly loving people who I consider my friends! LOVE YOUR FRIEND MANDA!
