I need a pattern for pre-1840 PC stockings....

Yeah, this whole knitting craze started because I want to knit my own period correct (PC) pre-1840 fur trade era stockings... and now that I can knit I have no idea where to find a correct pattern. lol. I've googled and searched ravelry.com and checked ask.com and....

no luck.


So if anyone happens to know where I could find one please let me know!

Ugh... sick....

*groan*


Insomnia and the flu. yuuuuccckkkkkkk.


Runny nose, sore throat, fever, aches, etc.

Tiff is home from school today, she was running a fever as well. She just got up. I have her medicated. Tsu had to go to the hospital for more tests (tummy tests not back tests). Poor guy has had a rough month.

Anyway, Not much to write today, just wanted to post a picture of what I made the other day:

I was going to make a second one right away but Tiff wanted some wrist warmers so I am making those. These are the ones I made for myself, hers will be longer and out of different yarn:
