Hey! It's a Christmas Stocking!



I started this stocking at least one Christmas ago, maybe two? Finished yesterday while waiting for my car to be inspected. The impetus? My sister told me we had to bring our own stockings for Christmas this year. Thankfully, this one's big enough for the two of us to share, 'cause we've only got the one! Santa's far less picky about receptacles when he comes to our house.


Random big-worsted/small-bulky yarns, size 9 DPNs.

CO 56 sts. knit in the round. Let it sit around for a year if you don't make enough progress for it to be done by Christmas.
At some point, throw a short-row heel in there. It doesn't have to be very good.
At some other point, start decreasing for the toe. Close up the hole when it looks small enough.

Merry Christmas!

And if you had no idea how to "throw a short-row heel" in, you would ....? Merry Christmas, HK! i hope your service is meaningful and joyous. We reluctantly had to cancel. It's wretched. Love to you and Mr. HK!

So when do you add the bells?

LG -- you would look it up. :)

Mom -- no bells. We're too modern for that.

I think you're really too post-modern for bells. But that's another story.
