Here's a pdf version - that should print

That came up blank for me too, but I think I finally have it - doing it in stages. Thank you so much for trying Moon - appreciate it. It is just my non-computer brain that doesn't understand!

Thanks, Moonpi. I can't wait to try making some.

What a great idea!! :D Thank you so much for sharing.

This site is amazing! My printer is screaming at me right now. I found a pattern for Ring Pincushion, Clothes Peg Bag (made with a dishcloth and hanger); a shopping bag tote knitted with plastic bags (looks easy). They also have vintage knitting patterns, sewing patterns, oh wow, I am going to be busy. Thank you.

I'm so glad you did Loretta! :-) I'm thinking these would make great Christmas presents for family far away. Wouldn't cost much to mail off to them.
BTW- I was at W/M the other day and the cashier told me that in 2010, they'll start charging for those plastic bags..

Ditto on the christmas presents! Folded up, they will make nice stocking stuffers! I'm actually surprised that grocery stores havent' started to charge for them.

wow, thank you
