I don't do much crocheting anymore, but have taught 4-h crocheting an knitting and now judge at County Fairs and State fair in Oregon. Love to see the beautiful work displayed, however am somewhat dismayed when round work does not lay flat and others not blocked. Sure do love that pattern though.

Wow, that's really pretty. I've always wanted to do something like this, but can't seem to get my tension right with thread. I can crochet with yarn fine, but never thread... :-( Please post pics when it's finished.

Nice pattern. I used to crochet a lot (my mother taught me when I was little), but quilting has me firmly in it's grip...so I haven't picked up a crochet hook for sometime, do make the odd coathanger cover but nothing serious.

I was in the Evil Empire (AKA Walmart) tonite and mine, a superstore, carries white Aunt Lydia 30 crochet thread. White is the only color in that weight (I assume its a weight) but at least they have the size you're looking for. On the other hand, bummed out by the way they downsized the home office/school supplies area when the store was upsized.

Yes I do. I have one I need to finish as a gift. It is a Chatalaine for my next door neighbor, kitty. It will have a needle case, pincushion, sissor pouch and a thimble bag when it is finished. It is a varigated green with a rich purple velvet that will show through from the back.
