Thread the needle with the fishing line. Insert as for the ribbon that ties the wings together in the loops two up from the wing bow. This will put the angel in a "flying" position when hung. Tie an overhand knot Push the angel's head back, push her chest out,
and arrange the ruffles on the skirt.

Priscilla's Crochet Hi! My name is Priscilla Hewitt. I taught myself to crochet 31 years ago, and started designing things for family and friends 30 years ago. I discovered the wonderful crochet community on the internet last year, and added my own website this June. I hope you'll stop by. I try to add at least one new free crochet pattern each week. My aspiration is to develop a web-based crochet business sometime in the future. With Melissa Majewski, I'm the co-owner of a new crochet e-mail list, Crochet Talk, a place where people come together for the love of crochet, and develop lasting friendships along the way. I'm flattered to have one of my angels selected for the Web of Angels, a site I very much admire. Thank you!
