I love collections like these but unfortunately, there are times when the link to a specific project just disappears. Everyone says that the Internet is Forever, but sometimes things do fall through the cracks. Thats why as soon as I spot a pattern Im interested in working up, Ill either download it or at the very least, use the Save Page function to capture the webpage in its entirety. I can later copy and paste into a document and include any photos, too.

I like to come across this type of patterns for quick, easy crochet items for one reason. Well, many reasons but one is to take along to doctor office visits. I always seem to be waiting a long time and I could be making my Christmas presents all year long while waiting. It sure beats reading three year old magazines!
