Socks with Stitch Guides (Ruth Schmuff)
I just noticed a set of four mini socks from Ruth Schmuff available on the Nashville Needleworks website. They each come with a stitch guide, probably written by Ruth herself. If you want to try something small, flashy and fun from the amazing brain of Ruth, one of these might be just perfect.

Amy's Stitch Guide Makeover
Amy Bunger has updated her Amy's Golden Strand shop website. You can read about the update (and see a listing of the newest stitch guides available from Amy and a listing of the guides she is working on now) in her Feb/March 2017 e-newsletter. By the way, at the very end of the newsletter Amy shows off students' stitching so you can see what the end product for some of her guides looks like.
