For any of you thinking about make one of these spool pin pads, here is a link to a blog by Kathleen at Rose Prairie who has experimented with several different threads/yarns and a pattern that she conjured up. Good information:

As I, another poster, and Kathleen mentioned, there was a posted pattern on Bonnie Hunter's blog sent to her by another crocheter.
