I have tried and failed to finish two secret lace knit alongs! The second was not really my fault, but when I realized I had unsubbed accidently – I just let it go!
But I’m trying again! I might not knit along – so much depends on what happens to our family in the new year! Here is the link if you want to join me!

The Christmas stocking is done in the round – and where I want the heel, I stitch in waste yarn. Then I continue to the toe. I decrease the toe and then Kitchner to close it. I go back to the heel and pick up the stitches top and bottom in the round. I decrease it just like the toe and then Kitchner it to close it. It couldn’t be simpler! And I assume it would work on normal socks too – but I’ve not done it.
Let me know if you try it. 🙂
Just need to add the name and make the hanging loop….and make the other one! But I started this last night while watching a movie and it took 2 movies today!
So, there is a good side to being in a funk I guess!
If you can visit me in Ravelry – you need to do that – because I’ve finally taken photos of all of my stash! Well, the stash I’m going to admit to, anyway! I have tons more cotton and older project yarn…but I’m not going to worry about them right now! I’m Knitnmom on Ravelry if you haven’t added me as a friend yet!
In addition to buying new yarn, I’ve been knitting! I’ve just been bad about taking pictures! 🙂 So, hold onto your socks….here’s a firehose of projects! (Click on picture to make them bigger)
