Stocking Madness
It’s taken two years “planning” and one month of knitting to produce these:
I used this pattern. [I updated the original which was formatted in a manner that made it difficult to read].
It was my first time knitting with more than one color using the “stranding” technique (aka, knitting with two hands). Oh boy! How fun. You can see a difference between my first (on the right) and second (on the right) stockings. I have a tendency to knit tightly and discovered that this produces a very puckered looking stocking. The second is much looser. The same number of stitches was used in both stockings but the second is almost an inch wider! Robb is thrilled with his because his can hold more presents! Unfortunately, since I finished the second at 12:15 am on Christmas morning (!!) Santa didn’t fill either of our stockings this year. But maybe next year…
