Post Subject: Craft Pattern Search
Hi all,
Does anyone have any online craft patterns and willing to share?
I started a new website to share patterns or to search for them. There are many categories with more on the way!
Thanks,
Gary

Environmental friendly craft patterns are available for free if you are into plastic bag, vhs tape and other recycled materials here - http://www.myrecycledbags.com/
Check it out! Lots of crochet and a few knit craft ideas here. It's trash to treasure crafting...

Not sure what you mean by easy -- It's unlike any other magazine I've seen on the market. The projects run the gamut of very easy to quite complicated!
Unlike English or American magazines that concentrate on one craft only -- knitting vs. beading vs. scrapbooking or (in the US) dinky 'crafty' craft magazines; this mag combines all of those with (usually) very high quality eclectic selections which include all of those as well as embroidery, painted furniture, clothing patterns, quilts and more.
Often, when I get to the instruction portion of the mag, I'm surprised by some of the items listed because, earlier, that item had looked like part of the design scene rather than something to craft.
I think of it more as a design/idea resource rather than a how-to guide b/c I need to create my own instructions based on past experience or on similar projects from other sources -- cause I can't read french!
For others... Belle Armoire is pretty good for conceptualizing (tho' I've stopped buying it - While I love reading it, I never made anything based on the articles)
Burda, also, usually has very nice craft patterns among the clothing patterns. I think there is a specific Burda craft/handwork magazine, but I've never come across a copy.

Metal toggles or rattail frogs? Sounds dreammmmy.
I had a few minutes the other day and hit an old favorite Humane Society thrift. Found several Susan Bates circular knitting needles, which I jumped all over. Also some uncut craft patterns from the '80s, maybe. Mostly stuff I could already do without a pattern, but a few different ways to make padded hangers and silk reticules.
I'm going to have to do my serious thrifting this mid afternoon (Friday) or on Sunday. Neither is optimal, but oh, well! I do recall an older style flea market quite a few miles down the pike...
