How do I add buddies?
You can add other users to your buddy list very easily. When you come accross a user who you'd like to add as a buddy, click on that user's name or picture, and you'll be taken to their profile page. Find their list of "My Buddies", and at the bottom of the list, you can click to add them to your buddy lists. You'll then be asked (just to be sure) if you want to add this user; just click "Add".
Before the user becomes your buddy, they'll be asked to confirm. Once they do, then they'll show up on your buddy list (and vice versa).
If you're wondering how you might come across other users, you'll soon see that this can happen in many ways. For instance, you might be looking at a pattern. You'll notice a block to the right of the pattern telling you about the author. Simply click on the author's picture, and you'll reach their profile. Or, click on the "People" link near the top of any page to see who's online and who's recently joined Crochet Me. Again, you can click on a user there to go go their profile.
I just joined this site and cannot find the answer to this question: how do I search for other members in my area? I accidentally found one only a few towns away when I was shown the new members list once I had registered, but before I had logged in for the first time. Afer I logged in, I went to find her again, she was no longer on the list. Please advise me. I recall the member was from Lexington, NC and joined yesterday 10-10-07. Thank you. OS: I dont even know how I got to this screen to post a comment, since it showed up while I was reading the FAQ.
You can search members at http://crochetme.com/search/user.

I'm new to the site and would really like to make friends all over the world who enjoy needlework. I am 50 years old with 4 grown children and 2 grandchildren 3 and 7. I crochet alot to keep my hands moving. I am in a wheelchair so I don't drive and can't get out much. I'm really looking forward to learning how to use this site and make some friends.
