Neat Finish for a Christmas Stocking and Knitting Q&A // Casual Friday 2-48

In this week's podcast, I show off a finished Christmas stocking and give a peek inside to show the finishing details, including how and why I lined the stocking with poly-fleece, and an I-cord loop that will resist pulling out. The Q&A includes answering a question about whether/how to add stitches to a plain sweater if you want to add a cable, and what you can do to help reduce pilling in knitted items.
