The bestselling fiction book was Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach with The Winds of War by Herman Wouk in second.

The August 1972 Workbasket and Home Arts Magazine had four crochet patterns.   You’ll choose between the Place Mat/Hot Plate/Coaster and the Pansy Bouquet.
 
The Place Mat/Hot Plate/Coaster uses Spinnerin Mardi Gras!   Remember that from June?

I think I still have enough left to make at least one of the Place Mats.
 
The Pansy Bouquet uses Knit-Cro-Sheen in green, shaded lavender and purple.  I’m pretty sure I have all of those colors.

Voting will be up until Friday night!
