Great Craft Sites

As you already now I loving almost every kind of craft. And with loving crafts so much you got to know the right sites to go to. I myself have four sites that are great for craft people a great for meeting other crafters.
First off if you want to find knitting patterns I think you should go to www.KnittingPatternCentral.com for it has everything on knitting and 100's of knitting patterns. From Bags, Totes and Purses to Barbie Fashion. If you don't knit though, but have a pasion for crochet then you would love www.CrochetPatternCentral.com . You can find all kinds of patterns, just as many as you would find in Knitting Pattern Central.
My two last sites are mostly for talking. The first one is www.craftbubble.com which is just a wonderful site. You can meet so many people all over the world that like crafts just as much as you do. So if you want to meet new friends then sing up. If you already are then hay look up youngcrafter and add me to your friends list.
My next one is www.ravelry.com where you can put down your projects your working on and say how far you are. You basicly take about and do things that involve your projects, but it is still fun to go on sometimes.
