One down...

Thought I'd post a pic of the first of (probably) many Christmas stockings for family members. It hasn't been blocked yet, so maybe I can get some up of "lumps" out of the sides... we'll see.But I'm pretty pleased with it. It's amazing what you learn just *doing* a project, huh? Oh... if you squint a little when you look at it, it looks better. heheh

The second pic is of the inside after the ends were woven in. 

Time to start on some clogs!

You guys are kind. Mucho

You guys are kind. Mucho thanks for the great comments!

Lars, I'd never thought about a coat hanger inside. That's a great idea! 

Chris, I realized after I posted it that I'd meant to take a picture with a tape measure for dimensional referrence. The stocking is 19" from cuff to heel and 14" from heel to toe.

Why Gryph you talented

WinkWhy Gryph you talented little devil you!  That is one great looking stocking.  I can't tell by the photo what the dimentions are.... but it's fantastic.  Who'd have thought you were good for something else besides making fun of me in the chat room.  Good work.
