I know I have not posted in well over a month. Sorry but I have been extremely busy. Too busy to knit even. Well I did finish one of the Redskins thigh highs that I was working on back in October. I am almost finished the second thigh high and then I plan on having a fix it week, where I finish and fix two projects that I previously had done. I will post those picks as I finish them. Other than that I have not knitted anything new.
In order to do this project I used the toe up method and I created a stocking to fit my leg. To do this I used this diagram below.
Measure the leg on postions 1-9. Follow the steps below in order to create the a sock or stocking to fit your leg.
Circumference
A: Thigh: __ inches x __ st./in. = __ stitches
B. Lower thigh measurement (optional): __ inches x __ st./in. = __ stitches
C. Knee: __ inches x __ st./in. = __ stitches
D. Calf: __ inches x __ st./in. = __ stitches
E. Ankle: __ inches x __ st./in. = __ stitches
Length:
1-2: __ in. x r/in. = __ rows (__ decreases)
2-3: __ in. x r/in. = __ rows (__ decreases)
3-4: __ in. x r/in. = __ rows (__ increases)
Knit plain for one or two inches between 4 and 5.
5-6: __ in. x r/in. = __ rows (__ decreases)
7: Heel flap = __ rows ( measure from bottom of heel to narrowest part of ankle -- usually three to four inches).
8-9: widest part of foot (where toes start) to end of toe: __ in. x r/in. = __ rows (__ decreases)
9: Length of foot: __ in. (from toe to heel flap) x r/in. = __ total rows
I have not been on any blogs in well over 2 months. Looks like you are staying busy and having lots of fun with lots of different projects, I'm so glad! I hope to see you next month! You'll be getting an evite.com invite soon for a Mimi's Brunch! :)
