Call me what you will.  Since I spend so much time online searching for free crochet patterns I thought it would be a logical next step to start writing reviews of the different sites and blogs I come across.  These are my own personal opinions and will be honest and candid.  If you have or know of a site you'd like to see here, let me know.

One of the first points I want to make is that it's great to get all the free patterns you can, but there is something to be said for "you get what you pay for."  Not that free patterns are of inferior quality by any means, but in order to increase your crochet skills and create gifts for all the ones you love, you will eventually have to pay for a pattern, or book of patterns. And let's face it, crochet designers deserve credit for their sweat and tears.  Most, if not all, have free patterns they generously donate.  If not for those, this website would not exist.

Having said that, I will include in these reviews every type of crochet site I think appropriate for mycrochetsite.com.  This will include established designers to the hobby crocheter yet to be published.  I hope you'll enjoy these as much as I enjoy my most enjoyable distraction online – the hunt for crochet patterns.

Here's my rating system.
