Dear Sun Spots: I read Sun Spots every day and have got things through you and have also answered others. Now I need something really badly and hope somebody can help me. I am making an American flag afghan and need at least one skein of Fashion Knit flame red yarn. It was the Ames brand but Ames is no longer in business. I will travel to get it and will also pay you for it. If you have any, please call me at (207) 674-5667, West Paris, and ask for Barbara. – Barbara Yeaton, West Paris.
Dear Sun Spots: I am looking for a pattern. A friend of mine wants me to make him a set of pillows or something smaller from a cowboy boot pattern. I have looked around but can’t find a pattern.

I can be reached by mail at 8 Middle Ave. #4, Livermore Falls, ME 04254. Thank you very much. – Dottie Hatch, Livermore Falls.
