You got it Judy!

I have not followed her pattern yet, but very glad to share with you what she shared with me.

I cast on 66 stitches and used a super bulky #6 yarn (Lion Brand Wool Ease – thick & quick) with #13 (9 mm) circular needles. I then purled 24 rows (instead of 7) > switched to knitting and did 72 rows (instead of 24). To shape the heel I separated the 66 stitches I had into 39 on one needle and 27 on the other. I worked the 39 stitches and left the 27 untouched. I followed your pattern for the heel from there, just started with a higher number and had more rows as I worked my way down until I got to 5 stitches.
The toe shaping did take a little more adjusting >

After that I went into the Kitchener stitch, but probably could have done another row (or two) of K1, K2T, K6, SSK, K1 to get down to K10 before I bound off the toe.
Please do check back in and let me know how it goes! And I’d love to see a picture of your stocking!

Happy Knitting.

Hi Bette Ann,

I’m so glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! It gives you a sense of how much of our language is regional, which we really don’t realize.

Oh my, that onion jam! You will love it. And I think that quiche sounds delightful. My only ‘warning’ is that the jam has balsamic vinegar in it; make sure that will work in your quiche.

And I am absolutely a care-a-mel gal, what about you? I’m surprised they didn’t have pecan on there. My kids were born and raised in the south and say PEE-CAN, which makes my skin crawl. It’s peh-cahn! How do you say it?

Yes, you can absolutely freeze the jam, but it will keep in the fridge for a month or so.

Hugs,

Lynn

Isn’t that cool!? It was fun to do.

Have a great week, C.K.

Hugs,

Lynn

Hi Elizabeth,

So glad you enjoyed it! I did too and share it with my whole family. But, I’m not sure what Winnie the Pooh sounds like when he’s upset!😉 I’ll ask my husband.

Have a great week, my friend.

Hugs,

Lynn

Hi Karen,

What a great idea! If you get a chance, take a picture of it hanging in your fire station!

And I think it’d be great fun to knit.

Hi Angie,

Oh, your two grandsons would LOVE that stocking. I think it’d be great fun to knit.
