New Patterns including new fasteners

I have several new patterns for this issue. As always, I love doing dishcloths so the dishcloth pattern for this month is a Knitted Tracks Dishcloth. I also have ideas for ways to get new Crocheted Dishcloth Patterns without having to purchase a new pattern. See the examples and let your imagination flow.

I have also created 2 new fasteners. The first is a little late for St. Patrick's Day, but is a Shamrock fastener (sorry I didn't get it out earlier), the second is a Bunny fastener. I wanted to get this out in plenty of time before Easter arrived.

My site is lindaslists but the physical address is also Heartland/Ranch/4054 so either was ok. The part you needed was the htm address at the end. Congratulation to the winners and a big thank you to those that entered. I realize that it was difficult with Geocites constantly acting up on my site and I apologize for that.

Change of Issue Dates

The issues won't change, just the dates that they come out on. If I get the newsletter done early I will send out the notice early. I hate getting a pattern or information out that has to do with a holiday and have the holiday arrive a few days later. I am working on a lot of new patterns and will get these out at different times. So don't worry if you receive an issue before or after the first of the month. I haven't forgotten.
