The difficulty in getting patterns to post is that if you are an experienced crochetier you often just make it up as you go. You may keep notes of where you increased or decreased or made a change so that you remember to repeat it but the actual long hand pattern is an 'as you go' type thing. So in order to duplicate it and write a pattern you have to do another and write down what you do step by step. Most of the items I make are given as gifts so I no longer have one to take a picture of or see exactly how I made it. Time is at a premium and finding some to make items is difficult. Especially when it comes to large projects like sweaters, large doilies, runners and other items. 

So if you have a crochet pattern you want to share send it to me and I'll post it

Currently (Mar. 2008) I have two kids to run around a hubby with a broken leg a business I am trying to get off the ground a lot of unfinished projects and I'll be starting a wedding ring quilt for my nephew soon as well as help to plan the wedding. I am also hand stitching a grandmas flower garden quilt that is quite time consuming. There is more but these are the main reasons I just do not have the time I need to devote to this site. I'll post as I have time but I would appreciate if others might share their patterns. Just send them as you would any article and have your project with pictures and a signature file so you can take the credit on this website. Self serving links in your signature file.  

If you have a Crochet tip, trick, project, comment, free pattern or story you would like to share please use the 'contact us' page and send them.  I'll try to post them as I can. Let me know what personal information you want posted with your comments. Please include First name, City and State when submitting a post. If submitting a picture, have it as an attachment, not in the email. All posts are subject to the "Guidelines on Submitting an Article" 

Thank you.

The following is the same on every page and if you have already read it there is no need to do so again. The main links are on the left nav-bar.

My daughter has Cerebral Palsy. I do not say this for sympathy. I have created a site devoted to helping people with disabilities find resources they need to navigate DSHS, DDD, SSI and others including the school system. What I need from you is to let people with disabilities know of the site and get them to send me information of their local and State agencies that fulfill the needs of the disabled. I want to make this information available to all for free on my site. I just need the help of either a person with a child having cerebral palsy or any disability or a concerned person who can donate their time to help seek out this information of advocacy groups for the disabled.

 I am spending what time and resources I have but I need help.

 Through having to take our daughter to therapy and doctors appointments we have come to know many parent's of children with Cerebral Palsy. In the course of our attempts to advocate for our daughter and upon hearing of the same troubles others have had doing the same we decided to use some web space and try to do something about it. We want very much to be able to provide relevant information for every locality across the country so that people seeking information do not have to spend days in search of the information they need. We would welcome any help you could give us. Any links you can supply for either .gov's or private agencies that provide for or advocate for the Disabled would be appreciated. We would like to break them down by Federal, State, County, City and Schools. Please visit  www.cpfsn.org and see if there is anything you can contribute to grow the site into a useful and relevant site for people with disabilities specially those with Children who have Cerebral Palsy.
