Recently added to my pattern collection:

300 Classic Blocks for Crochet Projects
Casual to Classic Fashions to Crochet (a few lovely sweaters / cardigans)
Crochet Embellishments
Kitty Knits: Projects for Cats and Their People - OK, so I don't knit much (other than practice over a year ago!), but if I do ever get into it, I would want this book - too cute!

Looking for the Six-Pointed Star Afghan crochet pattern by Sandra J. Smith leaflet #87A50?

Annie's Attic has done it again! In December 2007, I learned they had re-released the Cathedral Rose Window Afghan pattern, and today I learned they've re-released the 6-Pointed Star Afghan pattern (leaflet 885044) for ~~$6.99~~ $5.99 [as of July 3, 3008]. This is the very much sought after Six-Pointed Star Afghan pattern originally published as leaflet 87A50 and designed by Sandra J. Smith - and now you can get it at Annie's Attic!

Back by popular demand! An Annie's Original! This perpetual favorite will make a stunning focal point in any home. The generous, intricate-looking 69" diameter throw is made using simple single and double crochet stitches and worsted weight yarn.

[Update July 3, 2008 - Also available at e-PatternsCentral.com for $5.99!]

There's no need now to hunt around for the original Six-Pointed Star Afghan leaflet 87A50 to get the pattern!

I don't have this pattern in my collection, but I did, however, create my own version of a 6-point to 12-point to 24-point Round Ripple Afghan (instructions are here).
