|
|
| Bulky Popcorn - Working with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn or one strand of bulky yarn, three panels are made quickly with double crochet and popcorn stitches.
|
|
| Sharon's Rose - A charted rose design repeated three times in the center panel is worked in stockinette stitch and bordered with an open lace design. Side panels combine the stockinette stitch and open lace design.
|
|
| Diagonal Granny - Crocheters who enjoy making the granny square will appreciate these easy 4-round granny squares. They become diamonds when you join them.
|
|
| Embroidered Scandia - This afghan is worked in basic afghan stitch and the lovely design is embroidered with cross stitches (some large and some small). The double knot fringe adds to its beauty.
|
|
| Indian Design - Center knit-in design is worked in stockinette stitch from chart and the side panels are worked with two colors in garter stitch.
|
|
| Plaid Fancy - One of our favorites that is fun and easy to do - striped in basic afghan stitch and slip stitched to create a plaid design. A scalloped edging adds the final touch.
|
|
| Scraps of Beauty - An ideal way to use the many partial skeins of yarn that you have accumulated. With the use of double crochet and double triple crochet in a 4-row repeat pattern, you can create a lovely, multi-color afghan.
|
|
| Chenille - Three panels are worked in afghan stitch with a popcorn pattern, then trimmed with single crochet, long double crochet and long triple crochet. Side panels are also adorned with a cluster stitch trim.
|
|
| Embroidered Rose - Here is an opportunity to use three techniques: basic afghan stitch and cross stitch embroidery for the center, and double crochet for the decorative border.
|
|
| Ripples and Stripes - Three "ripple" panels are knitted with ombre yarn; four garter stitch panels are knitted using black, white and gray for stripes.
|
|
| Shades of Green - Nine panels with knit-in open lace designs made with three shades of green are assembled and fringed - fast and fun to do.
|
|
| Gold Horizons - Five panels are worked in afghan stitch with a popcorn pattern, then trimmed with single crochet, long double crochet, long triple crochet and puff stitches.
|
|
| Blocks and Stripes - An eleven-panel afghan that is colorful and easy to make. It is worked entirely in stockinette stitch using five colors. The braided fringe is an added attraction.
|
|
| Bordered Diamonds - A real challenge and fun to do if you enjoy afghan stitch and Fisherman crochet. Four panels are worked in afghan stitch with diamond patterns, then trimmed with Low Ridge, Cable and Flower stitches.
|
|
| Bulky Diamonds and Cables - This five-panel afghan - knitted with two strands of worsted weight yarn or one strand of bulky yarn - works up quickly using cables, seed stitch and stockinette stitch.
|
|
| Meadow Flowers - Floral center squares are made using single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, triple crochet and double triple crochet. Each square is made in 5 rounds: 2 in flower color, 1 in green and 2 in ecru. Also shown: Shades of Green.

If you do not have a Paypal account, please feel free to contact me to discuss payment. Payment is appreciated within 30 days or by the end of the month, if more time is needed, please contact me.
Please note that when paying by eCheck, PayPal holds funds for approximately 4 business days for U.S. customers and 7-10 business days for international. Payment is not considered received and items are not shipped until payment has cleared.
I make every effort to describe items as accurately as possible and provide as many pictures of the item(s) as possible. I check each item prior to listing so that I can provide an accurate description of its condition and any defects. I do not list incomplete pattern books and will include photocopies of any missing pages with the publication (which will be mentioned in the auction description).

Items are almost always shipped the same day payment is received, or the next business day if paid on a weekend or holiday or after business hours on a weekday. I deliver packages to the post office for shipment on a daily basis (including Saturdays until 1:30 p.m.).
Insurance is offered as an optional add-on for all domestic (U.S.) shipments. Ebay will soon remove the ability of a seller to offer postal insurance as an option to be paid by the buyer, although the seller may include insurance on their own. My policy will be to include insurance on combined shipments with a minimum value of $50, plus free Media Mail shipping.
I combine items and will discount shipping when items are invoiced, paid and shipped as one transaction. For a single purchase, please use the shipping calculator button to find out what the total shipping charges will be. The shipping calculator is accurate for single purchases but not for multiple purchases. Please wait for an invoice. I use Paypal Shipping; shipping charges include Delivery Confirmation (not available with First Class International only).
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS please select your country in the 'Shipping and Handling' section below for rates.
I can ship items to most countries in a Flat Rate Priority Envelope for $12.30 ($10.40 to Canada and Mexico) (max. weight 4 lb.) or a Flat Rate Priority Box for $39.85 (max weight 20 lbs, $24.65 to Canada and Mexico.). A Flat Rate Priority Envelope will generally hold five standard size magazines. Some magazines are larger than the average modern magazine, which may limit the number of magazines that will fit in a Flat Rate Envelope. Hardback books also are likely to take up more space.
First Class International rates vary from country to country but are based on weight and are usually cheaper than Priority International if the shipping weight is less than 1 pound (450 g). According to the U.S. Post Office, the shipping time is the same – 8 to 10 business days. Since Priority Mail is not delivered faster, First Class International may be a better choice for a single magazine.
Insurance Terms: Insurance will be provided on any combined domestic (U.S.) shipment with a total value of $50.00 or more.
