Trying on

[atherleisure]

I tried on my 1880's stocking I've been slowly knitting away on. I thought I was getting close to where it was time to start the toe. It turned out I was over an inch past where it was time to start the toe. I want to make sure there's room to shrink, but not that much room! The heel came a lot farther forward than I was expecting it to.

I ripped back to where I wanted the toe to start, counted how many rows that was so the second stocking ends up the same size, and knit the first toe row. By the end of the weekend, I expect I'll have finished the first stocking and cast on the second stocking.
