I'm almost done knitting my 1st Fair Isle Yule stocking! Just finishing up the toe with a kitchner graft, and then blocking to do. I'm considering lining it with red felt, just to keep the running strands from getting snagged.

...but I'd have to sew it. I do knitting and needlepoint in order to *avoid* sewing. I'm cool with hand sewing, but the lining would work best on my sewing machine, with a few hand stitches to anchor it. [am I weirdly afraid of electric sewing machines? yes. yes I am.]
