Yes, I do have a camera

I took pictures of my stocking while I had the camera out for other reasons. I'm nearly to the point where I'll start narrowing for the toe, but not just yet.

Here it is on me:


And here it is laid flat:


I had expected the Dutch heel to fit a little closer to my heel, but somehow it doesn't. It's still not as much of a point as a common heel, and it was easier than the three-needle bind-off of a common heel. I haven't been thrilled with this pattern. Even with taking in several stitches, it's still a little baggy through the ankle though the calf and foot fit fine.

The End Approaches

The end of my sewing hiatus approaches. I still have about another week before I can start sewing again, but I bought fabrics for the girls' Hallowe'en costumes today so I'm heading that way. Since they didn't have the pattern in the right size, I'll probably get to finish my dress first. It's so close to finished - just one more row of trim and basting the bodice to the skirt. I've even already got the collar and cuffs basted in.
