I've been playing with making widgets for people's google home pages at http://.igoogle.com and have made a search engine for finding free knitting patterns

If your page contains free knitting patterns you can add your site to the list of preferred sites to search. Anyone can also add the search engine to your Igoogle page, blog or website!

You can customise it to any size and choose from a range of border styles and colours:

This is the size I have in my menu bar over on the right (scroll down a bit and you'll see it)

but you can also make it look like this:

and others

Spread the word and we can make it an excellent resource for finding free patterns!
