Mailing Lists/Discussion Groups

  Yahoo Groups is home to several knitting and crocheting lists. A search at the Onelist site will lead you to their discriptions along with the information on how to join.

Crochet Partners is a good place to discuss all aspects of crochet. Posts to the list are restricted to 100% crochet content; "chit-chat" is discouraged. The CP home page is a very good resource and you can sign up for the email list at this site.

 Crochet Musings and Crochet Network are two more crochet lists/homepages. They both offer many crochet resources. You can sign up for the mailing lists at their respective sites.

 


 


Crocheting and Knitting for Charity

My interest in crocheting for charity began several years ago. My first donations were made to Caps for Kids and I've contributed caps to this great organization every year since. There are many charity programs that would be happy to receive your crocheted or knitted donations. The links below are either direct to the specific charity organizations or to a list of charity links.

   I'm sure you will find a charity that you'd like to crochet or knit for
