The Daily Crocheter

The Daily Crocheter is a great comprehensive website for free patterns, crochet book reviews, finding yarn shops, etc.  They also have a periodic newsletter that you can sign up to receive by email.  They even have a segment called "crochet in the news", which has news and magazine articles about, frankly, knitting!  But, all the more reason to keep your eyes open for crochet items and submit them.  You can also submit your personally-created crochet patterns for posting.  I really like the direct link to eBay's yarn auctions, and there's a whole large section on charitable organizations looking for crocheted items.  Take a little time to explore this great website www.dailycrocheter.com

Online Crochet Classes

If you're not able to find local in-person crochet classes, then online is the next best thing!  Crochetville has some great crochet classes for a small fee.  The site allows you access to the course materials for 2 weeks after the end of the class, and you have the opportunity to post questions to the instructor during that time as well.  Check it out at www.crochetville.org

Ravelry.com

Ravelry is a great website for knitters and crocheters alike.  You can find great patterns and yarns from other crafters as well as set up your own profile and page to share your creations.  There are also forums and group on which to connect with others who love crochet, just like we do!  Just go to www.ravelry.com to request an invitation (the site is still in beta form, so the organizers are trying to accommodate all those who want to join).

Finding patterns

Finding free and for-purchase crochet patterns on the internet can be overwhelming.  A good way to start is on the websites of the manufacturers of yarns that you like to work with.  Often, they will have monthly newsletters that you can sign up for and that they will email you every month.  Those newsletters usually have announcements of new yarns and will give links to free patterns.
