Are you a member of a crafts group?

I dont know of any crafts groups in my area, but I really wish someone would start a crocheting group. I think I would really enjoy it.

At the moment I work alone . Because I just start make craft things . Maybe in future I will find some craft group , I think it is nice to make something and talk .

I am a member of a stamping club. We rubber stamp and make greeting cards..and it's so much fun to get together and share ideas! I don't mind working on them alone though either. I also have a friend whom I go visit three times a year and we stamp the whole weekend...try new ideas together...and just have fun!

My mom and I were very active in our local crocheting clubs before we moved. I missed the members very much and craved the social interaction with other crocheters. I tried to join a couple of local groups but it was just too difficult with my son being so young. I found myself taking care of him more than being able to socialize or crochet. I even found a few members giving me annoyed looks for bringing a baby to one of their meetings. So, in order to solve that problem, I started my own group. I posted a couple flyers at local yarn and bead shops and one of the local newspapers wrote a really nice article about the group as well. The group started off really small but everyone that came didn't mind my son nor the fact that he was still nursing and that sometimes I had to do just that while we were having our meeting. The group is almost 5 years old now and still going strong. We welcome any craft and have a group of knitters, crocheters, beaders, quilters, paper crafters, lace makers, spinners, weavers... oh, you name it and there is probably someone that does it. :-) We do inspire each other and are our own best cheerleaders when working on those sometimes dreadful projects. Sometimes we have workshops where someone shares a technique or we have knit-a-longs or crochet-a-longs. It's always different but we have a lot of fun. We have also found ourselves in the perfect situation becuase we do not meet at any public place - one other member and myself host the meetings in our own homes so we will never have to worry about losing our meeting places. :-) :-) I love our meetings and miss them when I can't make it to one, but I also do not mind working alone. Since we only meet twice a month, I find myself working alone a lot, but I know that I can just pick up the phone and call one of the members over and we can work together and have some fun. :-) :-) I hope that you will find a group and will work for you.

I work alone.There is no craft clubs here in town. I knit and crochet. It would be nice,though.
