"All the extra stuff"

Just a quick, short post. I was reading Vashti's blog about her Tunisian stole, (the pattern's coming soon!). This lovely stole was in the Chain Link Design Competition, and won a third place ribbon. Congratulations, Vashti! From there, I decided to check out some of her other links. Vashti's Crochet Pattern Companion has a lot of great information about the designing and blocking process. "All the extra stuff" indeed. Even an experienced crocheter can learn more from the professionals.
Thank you Vashti for sharing those extra tips, tricks, and finishing notes.
