How did you get to be a member of Crochetville?

[Guest labcrazy]

I thought it would be interesting to hear how we became members of this great group! :grouphug Like, if you found your way hear through a search engine:computer , a friend:wave , etc . . .

 

I myself was introduced to the community by a super friend, ZingyZoid, aka Stacy!

I did a search on Crochet Blogs, which turned up a user of the "crochet blogs" webring, which turned up YarnTomato's site, which in turn had the link to crochetville, and thats how i got hooked into the group LOL

I too found myself here thru one of Donna's (YarnTomato) links, and I found her site mentioned in Craftster which I came upon in an old issue of BUST magazine in a DIY column.

I did a "google" search on crochet and viola--here I am!

[Julie]

Waaaaay back in March I started my blog after finding Pam's crochet blog (no longer on the 'net, I miss it!). I found Donna, Tiff and Kim from links on Pam's blog within minutes and was a very happy woman. Pam started Crochetville but due to personal reasons was unable to continue to administrate this great community, so she handed the reins to Donna, Tiff and myself. )

[Tiffany]

I was a member of a crochet-themed email list, Crochet Partnerswww.crochetpartners.org, when I saw several posts from Pam about her crochet blog and this new site that she had just started. I am so glad I found this place. :)h

[Nay65]

I'm a member under a different screen name of a couple other ezboards. Out of curiosity, just to see if anything was out there, I did an ezboard search, and here I am.

[Stacey]

I did the same thing--I already belong to a couple of other boards on ezboard, and I searched out of curiosity one day to see if there were any crochet boards here...

[RachelG]

I forget. :thinking2 I follow so many crochet-related links it is not funny. All I know is that I "lurked" for less than week before deciding I HAD to join. That was in May and here I am

875+ posts later. :eek2

[RebeccaVelasquez]

i'm with rachel.

 

i dunno:shrug

 

glad i found it though (2550+ posts later:hi )

[Deb]

I remember CLEARLY... as it was a day of complete Happiness for me!

 

I was a member of the (now-defunct) CraftyChicks blogring. The person next to me on the ring was Julie (Yarngirl). On her blog she had a link to the 63 Squares Crochetalong - which led me to Donna's site, which led me (eventually) to Crochetville.

 

When I joined there were a lot fewer members! It's so nice to see this community grow!

[RebeccaVelasquez]

he he he deb, i remember the big hoorah about the 100th member!!! now aren't we close to 500???!!!

 

donna, aren't you proud!:cloud9

[Donna]

Yes, I am proud, Rebecca! :cloud9 I'm so happy to see what this site has become. :)h I wouldn't be able to do it without Julie and Tiff. :grouphug

 

How I found C'ville...

I'd been thinking about possibly starting a blog :thinking1 for at least a year--probably more--but never did. I wasn't sure what my blog would be about. :thinking2 Would it be just personal day-to-day stuff or about a specific topic?... I hadn't decided. In January/February of 2004 I started thinking it would be about crochet because I had been getting back into crochet after a much-too-long hiatus. I googled for crochet blogs :sherlock but didn't find any, so I figured somebody needed to do one. I had no clue people would actually read it. :read By the time I figured out this blogging stuff and had my blog ready to launch in mid-February, Pam (PamCrochets) already had a brand spankin' new crochet blog and Crochetville. As I was setting up my blog, I continued to google for crochet blogs hoping to happen upon some nugget of info. :sherlock That's how I found Pam (and thus Crochetville). A knit blogger had made a post about crochet, Pam left a comment about her new crochet blog, and I found her comment through Google. And the rest is history. :)h

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I don't know either :thinking2 I'm always searching for crochet stuff so there's not telling how I got here I'm just glad I did:yes

[mythunderbird]

i was in another croceht forum and some one linked this to it. can't remember who, but as soon as i saw it knew i had to join. and am i ever glad i did, found all of you nice people who love the same thing as me. CROCHET!!!!!!!!:w-lol can't even remember how many posts, but try and check it everyday as i enjoy talking with you all:computer so glad that crochetville was formed. :yes :yes :yes :w-grin vicki

[kariholtz]

I was here About.com Crochet forum and heard(errr read) someone talking about it. Can't remember who it was but I stumbled here and fell in love with the laid backness of the place.

Also here and everyone's blogs gave me the idea to start mine which has been a good thing.

I've made alot of friends here and am really glad I found this place.

[threeolivemartini]

I was at Bellaonline.. and some one had mentioned here.. i came over here and stayed.. i think i have only been back to Bella about 6 times since.. I like it here sooooooooooooo much ..

 

that led to the blog.. and all kinds of exciting things !!

[Yarnmistress]

I've been searching far and wide for a great forum like this. I am a member of another forum which has just really made me lose interest in it lately. So I started searching one day under crochet blogs and found By the Hook, which is how I found you guys!

 

I'm glad I did too, because you all seem so nice and there is so much knowledge and information here.

[Deb]

:grouphug I'm just glad we all found this wonderful place! so many nice people in one place! it's great! :)h

[MiCountess]

I'm here because of Donna :)h I was searching for help on a stitch in the 63 square pattern and found her tutorial. Which led me to this site. This is a wonderful site. Everybody is so nice and friendly. I'm so glad to be here :yay2

[Chie]

Donna <yarntomato> found me not long after she started her blog, and through her blog, I got to know other crocheters like Pam, Julie, Tiff..... and this Crochetville! )

[MommaChelle]

Oh wow! Lets see, I think someone posted a message over at the crochet-knitting board posting a link to crochetville. At that time, crochetville was just starting out, with Pam, and I lurked for the longest time before fully joining. I was loving all the blogs people posted and finding other blogs through their blog links pages. I've come to love all the wonderful crochet ladies here with all the support, help, and friendship everyone gives. This board continues to grow and stays strong with our new admins after Pam left. I hope Crochetville stays around for a very long time :)h

[ladywyntir]

I joined ezboard again (had an account eons ago!) because they had archives for the Columbine incident. Being the researcher i am, i checked the boards for some of my other hobbies.

 

They didn't have a decent baking board or vegetarian cooking board, so i tried crochet and to my delight i found a few crochet clubs.

 

Of them all, Crochetville was the friendliest :grouphug , cleanest looking (as far as html and scripting goes), AND it had crochet as the background!!!

 

This was by far the best choice! And i'm a proud member! I show everyone the site here at work and my husband finds me on at home freqently hee hee :computer

 

Thank you all for a very healthy, caring community!

I was looking for patterns on a search engine and came across this site.

[ZingyZoid]

I was searching for help with my 63 Squares afghan when I came across Donna's site which led me here. I love it here. Love seeing what everyone has done and is doing. Love the ideas floating around. Love the friendliness of the members. I'm pretty happy here. And that's why I brought my friend LabCrazyLand, Kelly into the group.)
