Skull Stockings Done, Dammit

While I was out of town I managed to finish my stockings. I even used a heel I hadn't ever done before. Of course I did it flippin' wrong, but you can't tell when you look at them. I frogged the first one all the way up to the first calf decrease and reknit that one, too.

Blogger doesn't want to upload pictures right now, so you'll just have to pretend I've got some damn snazzy photos of Skull Lace Stockings, but without my brother wearing them. I put the fool itchy things on in this heat and took a picture just for you guys. You'd best appreciate it or else I'll go crazy ape bonkers and maybe smack my brother with something. I've probably got heat stroke already anyhow, just sitting here at the computer.

I'm working on the stocking pattern, so that will be up maybe tomorrow, when hopefully Blogger decides to let me post photos.

I've started knitting a nice little short-sleeved rib knit 1940's blouse from Alice Carroll's Complete Guide to Modern Knitting and Crocheting, 1942 edition, but I can't post a picture of that either. I'll post the pattern with it, since I've been lazy with the vintage patterns.

The cat is still ticked off at me, since he puked and drooled all the way here, but it's way too hot for any kind of cat revenge. He'll get me back once the AC makes a dent in the humidity.
