Stockings

I just completed a set of Christmas stockings using the pattern in Knit One, Felt Too. The only modifications I made to the pattern were to do a short-row heel rather than the heel described in the pattern and I substituted Cascade 220 yarn for the wool-angora combo that was called for.  I'm really happy with the final product, and excited that next year we will *finally* have some Christmas decorations.

Here's a before felting shot:

  1. These are so great! I think I even have that book but haven't made anything out of it... perfect stockings for the family of a knitter!!! :)

    I just might need to whip up a few of these before Christmas rolls around.
