Notes

I have Green, Red and White for the main colors and scraps of the same yarn in other colors.
I thought about writing the name on just one side using intarsia, but decided on just writing it on both sides in fair isle.

It’s going well, although I notice that my fair isle knitting is not as even as it should be and I am all over with my gaugedisappointed_relieved
I didn’t like the snowballs and knitted a section of hearts instead.
A big shoutout and thank you to origamiAngel578 for sharing with me the corrected instructions for the heel. I am not there yet, but soon…

Started the heel flap three times scream
First grey and green didn’t look good together; not enough contrast.
Then I realized that the heel was going to be just over the first ( or last ) 30 sts which would make all the other designs off center when hung up because of the way I placed the name and the hearts.
I worked the heel flap over sts 16 to 44.

Finished the snowman dangles today. Just have to attach them to the I-cord and assemble everything. I also still have to steam block the stocking to get some of the unevenness out.
For the dangles I knitted separate hats and sewed them on. I embroidered french knots for the eyes and buttons and embroidered the nose. For the scarf I used a little bit if a silk ribbon.
