Thread Picot Tutorial

I've had a few people ask me about making a tutorial on picots. I finally, had time to make one.
First, you need to ch3 or whatever number your pattern says is needed for the picot.

In the ch3, there is a left side and a right side of each chain. Slip your hook thru the left side ONLY loop.

After slipping thru the left side loop, wrap the thread around the hook once, pinch the picot and pull down using your thumb and forefinger, while pulling the loop thru. (Sometimes this is a bugger to do, but pulling down makes the picot puffy)

Voila! Your finished ch3 picot.

Fred's: Double Coupon Day

*clickable pic*
Ran to Fred's this afternoon. I love Fred's. Especially on double coupon Saturdays! I try to save up my "little coupons" and make a good run to Fred's once a month. This month I needed to stock up on cleaning supplies, as you can see. Everything I purchased had a coupon.
Here's the math:
Total Price before coupons: 68.32
Total Price AFTER coupons: 39.78
Total Savings: 28.54 (enough for a tank of gas, if prices stay where they are at) *yays*

I feel pretty good about it, considering its stuff I really need, and use on a daily basis. I got several small things free: Suave lotion, Trident gum, etc. And, who can't feel good about something free and reduced price.
