I'm lucky to have a very smart 8 year old son! LOL He always compliments whatever I'm making & his friends all love my stuff. I just sent in several bags of hats and toys for the Celebration Shop at his school. They have a night when families can come in and pick out gifts for free who might not otherwise be able to afford to buy anything. He told me the kids on his bus have been having a blast looking through the bags on the way to school. That just made my day!

Just make a circle to fit and add a couple rounds of sc for the sides, then holding the elastic band next to last rnd crochet over the band and through the last rnd of sc.

A sheet pattern has written directions as well as pictures & diagrams, but it's printed on one big piece of paper that folds up like a map.

That's a different pattern but it is close, mine is design 520. I used size 10 thread.

Thanks everyone!

That's what I thought too!

Maybe this one? http://www.etsy.com/listing/76185977/crochet-pattern-big-eyed-fish-english?ref=sr_gallery_18&ga_search_query=fish&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_category=patterns.crochet&ga_page=2&ga_facet=

I was thinking about snowflakes & things like that too. I could make some really cute ornament sets. I have ribbon, beads and a bunch of other things for trim.

Yes it is time for something good, I'm about worn out from taking care of hubby since he broke his leg. And since he can't work there isn't money for anything extra these days. So getting all this thread was a real blessing!

I'm going to make Christmas gifts out of this since we are on a really tight budget for the next few months.

A very good friend just gave me all this! Her mother recently went to a nursing home and was no longer able to use it. I need a lot of thread patterns! LOL

Funny thing is I have a great used bookstore here & I have found a lot of the "expensive" pattern books there for about .50 cents each! LOL

Thank you!

I used them for my son's class for Valentines Day treats!
