Love it !
Tog means together. So you knit two sts together. This looks so great. Getting onto it now. Should only take me about two hours to knit and finish it up. :) :) :) :) :)
Do you continue knitting on from the leg to the foot. Like, is it joined or do you cast off at the leg before starting the foot? And i know what st-st means now :)
