SUMMARY: This is a fun Pattern-of-the-Month club originally started for those members of the UK-based Ring of Tatters that weren't computer savvy but still wanted access to new techniques and patterns. It got opened up to all members by popular demand - though members outside of the UK must wait an entire year in order to get all the patterns at once due to prohibitive mailing costs. I ordered the current year's subscription when I signed up for membership - and then quickly ordered the back year's that were still available. What fun patterns! I've listed the patterns(and their designer) for each year, but can't provide scans of the "cover" since it would be tatamount to illegally republishing the patterns electronically. I usually try to provide a visual reference - don't feel comfortable doing it with this one since the front page usually has the pattern instructions and diagram on it.
Thank you to Jennifer Williams for giving permission to show the cover of the first Pattern of the Month with her versatile bracelet/bookmark pattern. A very special thank you goes to Clare Tupman, who has been very helpful in acquiring back issues of the newsletter, and for donating copies of the first two years of the Pattern of the Month so that I could complete this page! I am in your debt.
The last pattern for the Pattern of the Month Club came out June 2016, and of course Jennifer ended this run on a high note, with a flower utilizing curled rings(Ninetta Carusoin) that looks really cool. I was very sorry to see this Club end.
