Yahoo Groups

If you like to converse with like-minded crochets artists, but time and distance are an issue you might explore “Yahoo Groups”.

I belong to several online groups which I have listed below. The short descriptions are taking right from the groups’ descriptions.  

If you decide to sign up for a group, I suggest you select  the “digest” format.  that way your inbox won’t be inundated with individual group updates.

Just go to http://groups.yahoo.com/ and search for groups, or you can even start your own group.
