I haven't really seen or heard of actual chat room like
the chat rooms used to be. Yahoo. has all kinds of
needlework groups they exchange patterns (non copyrighted)
thru email. Some of the groups also play games and have
gift exchange for the different holiday's,. It is really
fun. I have not been active for some time as I monitor a
facebook pages. I also have not been inline as I didn't
have a smart phone, tablet for a while. My computer access
is limited as I live in a Senior Assisted Living house we
have our own apt per-say we share our meals in a large
dinning room. We have one computer in our library, of
which I am the librarian, and I teach residents how to
email family, use Facebook and google anything they want
to research. LOLOL, for the most part I enjoy helping
people. I have lived here since December of 2006. I had my
own computer in my apt but it gotten hacked after I was
here for four years. I didn't have another computer for
four years, until my son built me one for me . We did not
get a computer for the residents until 2015, which was
perfect as my second computer had died by then. My access
is as limited because there are three other residents that
use the computer. Well in November just as I was going to
go back on Facebook, my cat died on November 19th. She was
17 years old, I was and still am devastated I have had her
since she was 4 weeks old. She would have been 18 on July
12th of this year. Back to the subject that you want to
know about, some of the Plastic canvas and crochet email
groups branched out onto Facebook. I am sorry I rambled
on so, I just wanted you to know a bit about me and what
information I had concerning any of the different
needlework groups... I do hope that this reaches you. If
you are on Facebook you can look for them or I can send
you a list of ones I have been in.
Let me know thru here. I then will send you my email and
my Facebook page. Well it is nearly time for dinner and
I want to finish up here til after I eat. I think I
finally am going back to Facebook either tonight or
tomorrow. Hoping to hear from you soon.
A Belated Healthy and Happy New Years to you and yours.

I don't know if you were familiar with #stitch that was on
the IRC (Internet Relay Chat) server starlink-irc back about
20-25 years ago, but several of us old #stitch-ers have been
wanting to start chatting again.
So there is NOW a new #stitch channel on the Afternet IRC
server open and ready for chatting.
If you're unfamiliar with IRC, you'll need to download an
IRC client for your operating system. Once that's done, it's
a simple matter to connect to the AfterNet then join #stitch.
You can visit the
http://www.afternet.org home page for links
to IRC clients to download and a tutorial for beginners on
using IRC.
We've made the channel as part of the
http://logicalinsight.net
website and will be posting days and times for group chats
via #stitch soon.
Meanwhile, you're all invited to check out AfterNet's #stitch
channel and chat with whomever happens to drop in.
