There's a new Mag Friends magnet, a creepy-crawly spider! He's as elegant as an 8-legged critter can be in gold with black rhinestones.

Hungry Again
There's nothing more delicious than a new stitch! If you need a pretty scallop on a design, Robin King has diagrammed one for you. Yummy!

Missed the Finishing Deadline?

If you missed the finishing deadline to have things ready for Christmas, you can always stitch them together yourself. Here's what Michelle of Bristly Thistle says about self-finishing.

I do a lot of my own finishing, particularly ornaments. I don't enjoy it since being patient is a big requirement (and I'm not!) but it sure saves a lot of money! I don't own any finishing books, but I have used Summer Louise's tutorial to finish a mini sock and it turned out very well!

Summer's book on needlepoint finishing (and other books) are available here as paperbacks, eBooks, and PDF downloads. I've not seen any of her books but I found the tutorial above very helpful.
