  1. Always on the prowl for unique afghan patterns. That’s my favorite pasttime

  2. Jeannie Murphy says:

    I love using vendor posts on Facebook to find new ideas. I am on fb anyway and it saves me time to have everything presented together. Friends, family and projects. A great way to spend time.

  3. More nifty ideas with repurposed and reuseable items!

  4. Liz Tomlinson says:

  11. Naomi Hauf says:

    I’m looking for ideas for my teen-aged nieces and nephews, since my child is 30 something, it is work to keep up with the latest trends.

  12. Since I’ve always hated the way I look wearing hats, you can’t imagine how overjoyed I was to find that berets actually look cute! I have a lot of naturally curly hair, which my son calls “The Beacon” because he can always spot me in a crowd. Well,….”The Beacon” looks good in berets. I’ve found that they work up quickly and don’t take much yarn. I love them! Beret patterns, please. ;-)

  13. Lynn G. says:

    More shawls, scarfs and mittens (fingerless or not). I would like to see a pattern for the new boutique ribbon but not the same ole long scarf, maybe more like in a vee shape like an ascot style. Wow…that would be awesome. Thanks for the opportunity.
