crofter9 Firstly, good luck. In my last job, I was responsible for hiring so from an employers point of view. Keep your CV factual and as short as possible without cutting corners. Add a covering letter that sells you. Why you would like the job, and what you...

Where do you get your favorite patterns?

shirgie @shirgie (230) • United States 1 Dec 06

When I crochet, I am always hunting for the perfect pattern. I guess I am hard to please because if it is easy enough for me to do (intermediate crocheter at least) then I generally don't care for the pattern. I don't like to...

crofter9 the only thing I've ever done in crochet have been blankets made from wool unpicked from old jumpers. It kept me very busy as a child :-) It was great fun, and it recycled clothes long before it became "the thing to do". I enjoy cross-stich more now....

How do you go about having ideas for good discussion topics?

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43910) • Cambridge, England 12 Nov 06

Do the ideas just come to you randomly? Are they generated by other discussions you've read or answered? Do you make a note of questions that occur to you as you go about your daily business? Perhaps you do research...
