I got a note yesterday asking a finishing question I couldn't answer so I turned to the professionals. Pat Mazu answered my question and during our conversation, I visited the website that sells Pat's finishing book and her mini stocking designs. It's worth taking time to see the slide show of Pat's stockings and marvel how she uses simple stitches and an overdyed thread to great effect. Who said simple wasn't gorgeous?! If you are a member of the American Needlepoint Guild, check your old issues of Needle Pointers magazine for free mni sock charts from Pat. You won't be sorry.

Also in pursuit of answers for my correspondent, I was at Cheryl Schaeffer's website. On her New for 2011 page, there are some cute mini socks and some stunning Halloween bell pull hardware that in combination with Cheryl's designs, brings the traditional bell pull into the 21st Century.
