Welcome to the Crochet Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

One of the great things about the internet is that it opens up so many possibilities for Crocheters to meet with people from around the world and learn more about the craft.  I have just published an interview with Berta Hesen-Minten who lives in the Netherlands and is widely known for her tiny Crocheted Bears.  These little bears, and other animals, are typically crocheted in thread and are great fun to make.  If any Crocheter is looking for some inspiration or wanting to try something new then take a look here.  

I've also posted on the site two ideas for neckwarmers, these make for a good alternative to scarves, particularly as we head into Spring. The first one can be found here.   I'd love to hear about any of your favorite patterns or designs and what you are working on at the moment.  Do pop into the BellaOnline.com Crochet forum - it can be found here!

I wrote recently about keeping a Crochet Blog (which can be found here).  This made me think that a useful addition to the site would be a directory of Crochet related Blogs.  Therefore I will be pleased to have the web address of any Blogs which you enjoy reading or perhaps you keep yourself.

Please pass the Newsletter on to anyone who you feel might be interested!

I look forward to hearing from you either by email or why not pop into the forum and leave a message there.
