Finally Done!
My stocking is finally done! I am so happy. What was I thinking using sock yarn and 2mm needles? Insane! But I did get it done in plenty of time. Thanks to the storm that kept me home today.
Specs:
Yarn: Opal Mosaic in red and green
Needles: Addi Turbo 2mm 16inch
Pattern: I made it up as I went along
Here is a closeup of the ruffle. It is the same as I did on the socks (this and this) with one exception. I did a plain knit row in between the increase rows. So it was switch to green. knit one row. knit in front and back each stitch across entire row. knit one row plain. increase row again. bind off.
From left:Del, MJ, Bekah, Majc
I made Del's and Bekah's last year
mine this year of course
Majc's was store bought
So except for one more ballband washcloth for a hostess gift, I am done with holiday knitting!! I will be so happy to knit something else. And with no deadline. just relax and knit. I have enough on the needles to chose from. The DH sweater, a couple shawls, socks. I always seem to have a lot of WIP's. Maybe I just like variety. I guess we all do. But I did just order some more yarn from Knit Picks for The Red Scarf Project. So I may have to impose knitting monogamy again!

Yes, yes... sock yarn and itty bitty stabbitty sticks does feel like insanity while using them, but...
Isn't the result totally worth it??? Your stocking looks great.
ah a snow day...what a great excuse to spend a whole day knitting!
It looks great MJ!
He he he, I guess you won't be making another christmas stocking in this gauge? It looks very nice, though.
I especially like Majc's stocking, did you make that one as well? It is too cute.....

That you could make an absolutely awesome stocking with it. And you did. It's gorgeous!
