• Frogged Stocking Completed

  This is the original:
  
  
  
  
  
  This is the new one:
  
  
  Last year, I used size 8 DPNs (double pointed needles) because it was all I had.  When I had finished almost the last stocking, I bought some shiny slick smaller ones... and I used those this year.  They were size 5.  So, already, the tension was tighter, but it looks more... uhm... not loose and holey and see throughy.
  
  I'm not totally thrilled with it, but Phoebe was super excited to see it done.
  The Trees are supposed to be different colors... Christmasy colors.  Who cares?  Someone out there does.
  
  My tension is not uniform.  That bugs me.  And, the Snowflakes are hard to make out.  That was kind of the point when I started it the first time, but I ripped it out and now I'm frustrated that they aren't blatant.
  
  BUT, it says Phoebe on both sides and it is finished.  I can tweak some of the mistakes.
  
  Inside:
  
  
  
  
  Pretty, huh?  Not.
  
  I still have a lot of weaving of loose ends to do.  Anyone want to do it for me?
