After more than a year of hibernation, I finally got back to work on these. They’re finished and look great in spite of some little mistakes here an there. That fishnet pattern between repeats is difficult to fix when you make a mistake. Hint: Make these a little bit shorter (via fewer repeats of chart D) than you would like them to be in the end. I had to redo a lot of one stocking because it wanted to be over-the-knee after I put the elastic in.

Took some pics on the beach at East Fork Lake as a nod to the title. :)

Doing 10 repeats of chart D total - 6 with a size 2 needle and then down to 1 1/2 for the last four. Down to a size 1 for the heel flap and onward. 12 repeats of chart E after the gusset.
