Well darn....Thought maybe the fleece thing would work...do you happen to have a Half Price Books store near you? I've been picking up some really cool sewing for your diva type books there lately and I could have sworn that there was a Knitting & Crochet For Your Pet book the last time I was in. Also the pattern folders are really reasonable-for sewing,knitting or crochet

LOL- I hit the store once a month and go to the same 3 areas: antiques/collectibles,crafts & pets.
Thats where I picked up "The Image Makers"-a coffee table book with the publicity photos of the stars-including yes-Ms.Hepburn & Mr.Famous!
Heres another idea-Martha Stewart's(sp?) website might have some nice patterns or ideas.
