I started the Ladies Useful Stockings back in March. I LOVE THESE!!!

Yellow Stockings
I‘m having issues with my images. I don’t know what’s up, but I can’t get it to make my photos thumbnails like its supposed to. I’ve had zero problems with this before, but now it won’t work. Anyone have any clues? WP Version 2.5.1

Ok, I got it to work, what I had to do was add “-150×150″ after the filename and before the “.jpg”. I’d really rather not have to do this manually everytime, but after reading around, I couldn’t find any other fix for it. It seems that this has happened to several other people where the thumbnail thing quit working. Oh well….I’ll figure it out later.

Specifics:

Ladies Useful Stockings – Nancy Bush Knitting Vintage Socks

Yarn

Elann Esprit – Inca Gold

Needles -

Size 1 – I used magic loop until I turned the heel, then I used dpns the rest of the way.

Hey look! I’ve not vanished off the face of the earth. TWO MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL!!! yay! Then you’ll all be subjected to my horrible posts on a more frequent basis.

Anywho… NEW YARN!!

I bought this yarn from a vendor on ebay – Enchanting Yarn Designs

Colorway is “Ladybug” and its 560 yards of superwash merino sock yarn and I ADORE it! Great company to buy from, great shipping, great prices. Highly recommeded!

I also got some yarn from 100purewool.com. This company is based in Uruguay.

This colorway is called LUST and yes..I lusted after it and bought it. The prices here are amazing and if you don’t mind the wait for it to be shipped from Uruguay its terrific. 1900 yards of lace weight yarn for under $20. Can’t beat that with a stick.
