:lol:
I have a question about BOM. I noticed you have pictures of these but no patterns. Why not?
I am sure some one would like them.

dorisone,
go to the top of the main page here and click on the bom rules and list. All of the patterns are there.

:mrgreen: I enjoy reading these post. The actual patterns would be much appreciated.

Being new around here is brutal. Watch out for that Tim guy.

He will steal the varigated thread right out from your needle and then send you off to look for flight line at the airport gift shop.

Don't worry about being new. We all were at one time or another. Some more recently than others. If you have a question be sure to ask it. Otherwise you'll not learn or find what you're looking for.

Tim, play nice!

Right now, I only see two solutions:

- Create a separate category for BOMs and allow many people to post their blocks at the same time. That way, we would have more than two blocks each month and anybody could choose to complete as many blocks as they want. Each BOM would have its own thread, and the only requirement would be not to cross-post in other people's BOM threads, so everything is kept separate.

- Have multiple nominations each month and run the poll. Everybody would vote on the block they like the most, and at the end of the month, the winner (maybe the top two) become the official BOM(s) for the following month.

I see potential problems with both of these approaches, but those are the only ways I see that eliminate the waiting list.

See! This is a big part of the why and how this Board works so well....Yea! Admin
