Notes

Doing this as a special request. Should be interesting since I haven’t done a lot of color work or stranding. Trying to do something similar to the stockings she already has, so no pattern available. Winging it on this one. We shall see how it goes.

So I’ve already completed this once. And my tension was absolute crap…I mean absolute crap. So I’ve started over after watching a class on Craftsy - thank you Mary Jane Mucklestone. She makes it look so easy and eventually I will get there - Please notice that picture knitting with yarn in both hands. Yeah, I can do that now….sort of. Should finish the second stocking here shortly.

Finished these and was able to give them to the client before Christmas. There were several starts and stops and ripping out but in the end, I’m very pleased with my efforts. I was also very honored to be able to help a family continue a tradition.
