Socks and Stockings: What's the Difference? // Casual Friday S05E44

In this week's podcast, I have an update on my sock project; I give a tour through Vol. I of Weldon's Practical Needlework (1886), and I examine the origins of the words "socks" and "stockings." Support me by buying me a coffee on Ko-fi! https://www.ko-fi.com/roxannerichardson My knitting designs: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/roxanne-richardson My Ravelry project page for the sweater I'm wearing: https://ravel.me/Rox/4swdrac SHOW NOTES: CURRENT PROJECT My first version of the Norwegian socks were knit using Kelbourne Woolens Germantown Wool. The pattern for the sock will be out some time in the near future WELDON'S PRACTICAL NEEDLEWORK, VOL 1 I bought the 12-volume set from a seller on ebay. Individual copies of the different volumes can be found used from various online sellers. Copies of specific Weldon's Needlework (i.e. Knitting, Stocking Knitting, Crochet, etc.) can be purchased from Piecework as digital downloads. It appears that if multiple "series" of a particular type of needlework appeared in the same year, both are sold together. For example, Series One and Series Two of Practical Stocking Knitter were published in the same year, and can be purchased as a set. Hardcopy issues of Weldon's can be found from various online sellers, mostly in the U.K. Digital copies of a wide range of Weldon's issues can be found on etsy. I have purchased vintage patterns from IvyRose: I bought this issue, which has many of the same heels as are described in 1886, Vol 1
