I have looked and looked for a group where persons that crochet without patterns and are wanting to take their crocheting to a fiber art level and have not found one so I decided it was time for me to take the plunge and started a Yahoo group for the crocheter that is on the edge. It is for those of you that are wishing to take your crocheting past the pattern and trust your inner crocheting self.

This will not be a lurker place to hang out, so if that is your thing, please don't ask to join and expect to just hide in the background absorbing others energy and not giving back.

Expect to be asked probing questions about the type of work you are doing. When I started to go in a different direction with my crocheting I was asked alot of wierd questions. I had the answers inside me but could not put them into words. I have now found it very important to learn the language of my designing and convey it to others. I still have much to learn and really could use your insight and advice.

****Consider the group like a light bulb and you are the watts. I can supply the switch and electricity but YOU are how brightly the group shines.

Also I hope it becomes a place for entering call for submissions and selling of art crocheting and much more.

I do not expect to have the masses joining (but not worried if it does) so if you are the type of person that wants to push yourselfand help others to learn more and experiment in crocheting then please join. I also need to be pushed and could use some people to help me continue taking my crocheitng to a higher level.

I have begun to set up the group to have challenges and discussions to begin the crochet juices flowing. The challenges do not start until Feb. and joining you will be expected to be involved in them.

As with all groups it is necessary to stay on topic so I have the 98/2 in place. This means 98% about crochet and 2% personal. I do also have a "Off Topic Tuesday" for once a month but no spamming. You will also have to sign your messages with your real first name. It is a closed board and if you think you need to hide then you are not going to be comfortable there. I want to keep the rules simple and basic so push your inner designing self not others buttons.

Now that I have explained the group a little and think you can live with it here is the button to join. It is a moderated board.
