What do you read on Crochetville?

[Wendy79]

I'm curious about how everyone reads Crochetville--go straight to all new posts? Focus on certain areas? Depends on your mood?

[angieInCA]

All of them! What can I say, I'm a crochet junkie:hook

I look at the CAL's , but it wasn't on the list. I'm on a couple - Christmas 2006 and Crocheters against UFO's. I might find another one to jon.

I have to tell the awful truth... I can't leave a page with bold titles I haven't read yet. Even items that aren't really of interest - gotta read 'em so the bold is all gone

[sewnsew]

Me too. I love lurking and then if I have any input I'll throw it in there

[Starr]

All of them LOL

 

But, sometimes it does depend on my mood, then I lurk in the "show and tell" forum

[flyinghooks]

Also CALs

[Ladykats]

I wonder around, lurking sounds too old manish. I read the cals first, then skim through some of the pattern areas, see what people have made, then end up here alot it seems. But then I like it here, you ladies are nice and it feels like a home I never had.

Can you add Shopping Strip to the poll?

I read the new introduce first, then go to the new posts.

[Auntie Kellie]

A little bit of everything but Other Crochet Topics tends to be my first stop. Its nice to have a place to talk with other crocheters and not have to see rolling eyes or hear bored sighs.

 

Then I drift towards the Show and Tells, see what everyone else has made so far. The help section is always nice too. I give help when I can and just read up on the various problems others have to gain a hint at what to expect if I ever do a similar pattern.

Darski, I'm in line right behind you, "I gotta read 'em all", even if they don't really interest me, I just have to know what others are saying about the subject!

[JCB]

I click on 'New Posts', but I don't read all. I usually read most of the 'Show-and-Tell' and whatever else catches my eye.

I didn't even know there was a "New Posts" link. I've been to many a board in my day...You'd think I would have looked for that

[Yarny]

I go straight to new posts.

.:Yarny:.

[niqita]

I read to introductions the new post the the games and the five word thing! I think we should make a novel about the five word story!

[tinkerpuppet]

I go right to 'new posts' but only read the few that catch my eye. I find that there are so many new posts whenever I have a chance to come on that I just can't keep up!

[KnicKnac]

I click on "new posts" and then I skim.

 

I focus heavily on the Babies/Children Show and Tell, but paruse the Clothing and Home Decor mostly.

 

When I am in "New Posts" I always click on what catches my eye ... good titles will always get a click!

 

There are certain people I follow around, almost like a stalker!

[Crocus58]

I also go to the Clinic - to see if I can help, or if someone has a tip or trick that can help me.

[Susanne]

I go to the new posts, but I don't read everything. It depends very much on how many time I have (most of the time I sit here with my toddler and I can't type because I need two hands to keep him off my keyboard)

 

 

But I read far more than I reply.

[mva5493]

I choose new posts first. Always have a look at show and tell, love to see what everyone else is doing. If I am in a rut, (tired of looking at the same pattern) I look to see what everyone else is doing to give me a little insiration to continue. I look at anything that catches my eye. I guess I am just another junkie. One more thing to add to the list of things I go overboard with. lol

[Empress Busy Bee]

Depends on my mood and the day.

I usually start at "Other Topics" and work down.

I used to read most of the new posts but I just don't have time now. I skip areas that I don't do (free style, thread, etc.). Those I do look in I hover my mouse over the subject to see if I want to read it or not.

I don't even search for patterns as much anymore. I just don't have the time.

Exactly. I mainly enjoy the CAL and Help sections. I've learned a lot in Help.

YES!! Exactly! Although that's partly because my "job' currently involves me not doing anything but having to sit at the computer all day...

I like Other Crochet Topics best since it's a hodgepodge of information.
