Finished my first WISP (Work in Slow Progress) this afternoon. I had to have two goes at the cuff - managed to have the seam on the outside the first time! Decided a yo-yo would be cute and added the ric-rac on the toe. I made lots of yo-yo's with the clover yo-yo maker while watching Australian Idol this year - it was good to finally use one. I think the stocking actually looks more aged than comes across in the photo. It feels good to have completed something.
That is so nice....OMG an Australian Idol fan, love the show, Matt should have won though...did you vote???
