"Secrets" Stocking

Wow.  I have really dropped the blog-ball!  Time to start again and get caught up.


Let's start with the Christmas stocking I finished LAST year.  Here is my daughter Madison's "Secrets" Stocking:

And hidden under the flap is the 'secret':

The pattern details are not much different than the "Forest" stocking, but here are the specifics:
Kit:  "Secrets" by Judy's Colors
Colorway: Pink
Needles:  US5/3.75mm


I really need to make at least one more stocking before this holiday season.  I think I should get started!

Forest Stocking Complete

Stocking for Carter

I did manage to finish 2 stockings this Christmas.  The first was "Forest" which I made for my son and included his initials.  I really liked the kit:  instructions were clear, plenty of yarn, and knit up pretty fast.  

Here are my specifics:

Kit:  "Forest" by Judy's Colors

Colorway:  Teal

Needles:  US4/3.5mm and US6/4.0mm

Stockings #2: Secrets

I have also started a 2nd stocking.  This one is "Secrets" for Madison:

I am currently on the heel flap of this stocking.  I hope to have this complete by the 1st-2nd week of November.  That will leave me a few weeks to do the 3rd and final stocking for this year, for my daughter Grace.  She can't decide which one she likes best so I haven't even begun hers yet...

Knitting Stockings...

It feels like it has been forever since I last blogged.  I have had very good knitting energy and have been putting it to good use so I have lots to share over the next few days.  I had mentioned before that I really wanted to knit the kids' stockings this year and so it has begun!  I started with 'Forest' for Carter.  Here is what the kit content looks like: 

And here is my progress this month:

 

 

Just the foot to finish!  I have found the instructions and charts easy to work with and I LOVE the design. This stocking should be finished during the 1st week of November.
