Stocking 07

The stocking on the left is from 1942 , the stocking on the right is 2007. The yarn is a worsted weight - the pattern called for a sport weight. I wonder has the yarn size changed in these years? Sport weight was not getting the right gauge and you can see that even in the worsted the gauge is a little different. I came as close as possible. Hopefully Nancy will be happy with the out come.
