Writing Prompt:
Write a List post featuring 5 forums you frequent or would like to frequent this year for your crochet blog or business. 

Interacting with your customers and your blog readers is a very important part of developing your crochet business. One way you can do that is by being where your market is. Many times that is on forums. If you are a pattern designer you can connect with crocheters on various crochet forums.

Even though social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+ are gaining in popularity it is still important to participate in forums and groups. Below are my top 3 Crochet Forums for all crochet business bloggers.

1. Hookey.org - this is owned by Laurie of Crochet Liberation Front. You’ll find a great little community where you can chat with other crocheters, business owners, and designers. You can have a Hookey blog, post pictures of your projects, and ask questions about crochet business or designing. There is also a chat feature so you can chat with users who are online when you are. An optional paid membership site on CLF includes eCourses, special printables, articles and webinars.
2. Crochetville - a long time crochet forum for crocheters. They now have a great website that features resources for those who want to design patterns and learn more about managing and owning a crochet business. They have a new pattern directory so do add your free patterns to that.
3. CrochetMe Forums - I don’t know much about this forum as I’ve only participated a few times. Lots of questions are asked by those new to crochet – you can answer these questions, share your crochet patterns, bounce questions off of each other, etc..
