Aprons

A person on an email list to which I belong requested links to apron patterns today, preferably crocheted ones. I did a Google search and found some.

These are links to crocheted aprons :

Crochet Cloths and Potholders

This morning has already been and adventure. Links have been added to the pages for Potholders , Crochet Cloths and Kitchen Sets. If you have not looked at these pages and explored their contents, I encourage you to do so. There are some creative patterns written by some very talented and creative people. It has been fun adding links to these patterns for that reason. Enjoy!

Sites Requiring Sign In

Here are some sites that require registration before you can access thier patterns:

FreePatterns.com

LionBrand.com

There are patterns to a variety of items on both sites. I will not post links to these patterns because of the sign in requirement.

Links Added

I have been working real hard this week to add crochet links to these pages.  This process is going a bit more slowly since changing the format to having links posted on pages rather than on the side bar.

Enjoy!!

New Header

Hooray!!! A new header has been added to this blog! The colors are bright and wild. I am not sure I like the color combination, but for now it this is what it will be. It is a crazy color comination, but it was one of two for now and this is the one chosen.

Blog Update

In the past couple of days there have been more links added.

I am working on adding links  Crochet dishcloths and other kitchen related items. The hard part about doing this has been choosing a starting place and then disciplining myself to stop working on them.

I have also begun to add scrubbies as I come across them. At this time most of the ones added are crocheted. If more than two or three knitted ones are found, I will divide the list into categories.

Changes Complete For Now

Finally the changes are complete!!  Most of the sections of links have thier own pages.  Most groups of links that had seperate sections  for knit and crocheted items have now been combined onto one page.  For example: Angel Patterns were once divided into Knit and Crochet sections. They have been combined into one page titled: Angel Cloths.The same has been done for most categories of links.

The Animals-Knit section has its own page because at this time there are no  crocheted cloth patterns.
The main exceptions to this are the Crochet Cloths and the Knit Cloth sections. They were given their own pages becuase there are so many of them.  They might be split into smaller sections as more patterns are found that can be placed in a group.

There are some sections to links remaining on the sidebar becuase I cannot come up with a way to combine them into a page or groups of pages that suits me.

None of these changes are set in stone. If anyone has any comments in response to the changes that have been made, please let me know.  I will be glad to make changes  as needed. If and when you find mistakes, please let me know so they can be fixed. My goal is for this site to work for this wonderful group of people who use it.

It might take me a few hours or at least until the early hours of the following morning to get back to you.
