From my collection of old Workbasket magazines, the December, 1952 issue offering a "Wild Rose" doily edging.  Left-click to enlarge.

I'm more interested in the mini-latch hook in the side ad. I had one many years ago, but it went walk-about. It was perfect for catching those pesky "loops" that pull out when you snag a double-knit garment. It's amazing how easily they pull out, but no amount of tugging will get them to smooth out again.

Unfortunately, I think they are no longer being made. All I ever see are the full-size.

Yo, ho, ho! I found it! It's called a knit picker, and sold by Dritz. Under $5 which makes it even better. Best bet is Amazon
