Priscil\u00adla\u2019s web\u00adsite was off the air for what seemed like ages (maybe a year?) but is now back again; it has lots of crochet pat\u00adterns for afghans and book\u00admarks and pothold\u00aders and that sort of thing. I\u2019ve made a few of the pat\u00adterns and not had any prob\u00adlems with them. The site is a little clunky and old-fash\u00adioned, and has a couple of links that look weird, but don\u2019t let that put you off the pat\u00adterns themselves.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m fairly old-fash\u00adioned in what I like to crochet \u2013 mostly Christ\u00admas dec\u00ador\u00ada\u00adtions, coast\u00aders, doil\u00adies, book\u00admarks, hats. I tend to crochet things and then put them away and not use them as I don\u2019t really have the right spots to show them off. Except for the coast\u00aders, which the cats seem to think I made for them to play with. I don\u2019t usu\u00adally like the look of cro\u00adcheted cloth\u00ading although some light, breezy sum\u00admer tops look good. Not that I\u2019ve ever made one, my list of things to knit and crochet is long enough already!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Oth\u00ader pat\u00adtern links I have found include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freepatterns.com\">Free Pat\u00adterns<\/a>; you have to register at the site but I haven\u2019t got any spam from it that I know of. They have all sorts of pat\u00adterns, not just for crochet and knit\u00adting. There\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/crochetme.com\/\">Crochet\u00adMe<\/a>, which claims to have \u201ccon\u00adtem\u00adpor\u00adary, cool, hip, fash\u00adion\u00adable crochet.\u201d There aren\u2019t a lot of pat\u00adterns there that interest me per\u00adson\u00adally, but then there aren\u2019t a lot of pat\u00adterns (yet), so I\u2019ll prob\u00adably look again in a few months time and see what\u2019s there. In the pay-for cat\u00adegory, some of the pat\u00adterns at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stitchdiva.com\/\">Stitch Diva<\/a> look good, at least for warm\u00ader days or a warm\u00ader cli\u00admate.
