Classic Designs Revisited
From time to time, older HeartStrings patterns are re-visited to update them with expanded content, stitch instructions in both written and charted format, and new photography of sample models made in current yarns.

Country Girl Socks, Maple Leaves Scarf and Lacy Serpentine are the latest in the series of Classic Jackie E-S Designs Revisited. These newly updated patterns feature Tilli Tomas and Mountain Colors yarns.

More information and links follow. These republished patterns are not included in the auto-ship program, but there are value savings already built into their pricing to help you get them paired up with yarns in your store. You may order them now per regular wholesale terms and minimums. Patterns are ready to ship promptly. Any questions? Of course, please feel free to contact me by any of the usual means.

Also, be sure to check out the Business Savvy and News Nuggets articles in the column to the right. I think there are some things you won't want to miss!

Best regards,

Maple Leaves Lace Scarf

Country Girl Socks

#A38 Country Girl Socks are dainty and dignified lace-patterned socks for the country girl at heart. Socks are slightly shaped below calf for a trim fit at ankles. Fingering weight. US 1/2.25mm. MSRP $6.50

Lacy Serpentine
