Christmas Stockings!


Yes, it's time for Christmas again, and I am working on a Christmas stocking for a friend of mine. This is the prototype. I started too late to make many of these for this Christmas, but I hope to take orders for next year.

Otherwise, Black Friday was good to me, I have orders for 8 scarves. I bought a showcase on Etsy today, since it is Cyber Monday, and hope to sell many more. It isn't that long until Dec 10, when I need to stop taking orders for Christmas delivery! Off to knit, hope your Thanksgiving was as enjoyable as mine was!

Simply gorgeous! You're quite the knitter - I don't do intarsia because I'm not into stranded knitting, but I love it when others do it. Too bad it's too late to order one - I would have gotten one for our house. Maybe next year...

Good job - I'm proud of you. :)

Thank you, Pam! I can't claim all the credit. I did design the intarsia, but put it in my computer and had my knitting machine keep track of it all. The time I saved on the intarsia, I invested in the heel and toe! For the real stocking, it'll be even more tricky, since I will need to weave up the loose threads in back so it doesn't separate. So....still a lot of work, but I can make one in one afternoon, instead of several!
