I love the queue feature...before I would find a free pattern and have to
save the text and picture separately then later combine them and save. Now
you find a pattern/pix and save em in your queue and everything is together
and you can even add details such as yarn needle size and later start it as
a project in works and add other details such as person its for. I love
hats and am making those again this year for family so it was a big time
saver to use the hat pattern browse feature and search for free patterns all
in one place instead of trying to find via Google and other sites I have
saved.

them for shops in Seoul that have yarn.
