It’s done!

What? That doesn’t look done to you?

So I have a zillion ends to weave in before I can begin the duplicate stitched “x’s”. I don’t know if I should block it before or after the duplicate stitching. But the stupid thing is done. When and if I ever do the second argyle stocking, I’m going to knit the whole thing flat until I get to the gusset. It’ll go so much faster and be so much more pleasant to knit. I’ll weave in all the ends up until that point before seaming the back together and starting in the round again.

At least now I know that when I eventually knit argyle socks for myself, I’m going to do them flat. Hard lesson learned, but I learned, and not with toothpick needles.

There are tons of errors in the bottom third of this monstrosity, and I don’t even care.

When it’s really done, I’m going to lay all of the stockings out together and ask you what Clark’s should look like. I still don’t know what I want to do for his.

But don’t even joke about argyle. It won’t be funny.
