Lighthouse Christmas Stocking

Yarn: Cascade 220

Needle: 3.5mm

Techniques:

The short-row heels were done using instructions from Simple Socks by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts and the the intarsia part was done in the round using a new method described by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts  in the new version of Knitting in the Old Way and in the winter 2003 issue of Interweave Knits.  I highly recommend this method over others.

Designs:
The designs come from two sources, www.sweaterscapes.com and "And a Time to Knit Stockings" by Katherine Pence.
