christmas stocking, part one


The Christmas stocking, a hallmark of the controversial celebration that I choose to partake in, is now available in technocolor yarn. The pattern was from a holiday knits book, but it called for 3 skeins of a certain Japanese yarn that was a little out of the holiday budget~I substituted with some Patons wool purchased at the local arts and crafts store, plus added a contrasting heel and toe. The entire thing took a total of 6 hours to knit, and it's in the washer as I write. Yeah!, no more childish storebought stockings for me! (P.S. the picture was taken with my camera phone, so the color quality is a little lacking) but the ruler is 12 inches for comparison after felting. Total Cost: 8 dollars
