I amke absolutely no apology for the capital letters.......I have have worn my body, mind and soul creating my first unique Christmas stocking.
When first asked to knit one I though "OK not difficult....just google a pattern and maybe have a scoot through Ravelry. No probs - of course I can make one!".....HA How naive was I????????
I have knitted three.....I have altered each three countless times......I have cried.......I have not slept (although not entirely due to making Christmas stockings - more due to the fact that Oscar caught the world's most virulent stomach bug and I've had three sleepless nights spent on the sofa knitting whilst regularly )proferring a sick bowl!)
Anyway - I have come up with this.
The pattern I have sweat blood over is only the outline of the stocking. Who would have known how difficult heels and toes were? ANyway - the integrated patterns and colour combinations will be different for each. I hereby swear that no two stockings will be alike. I also promise to email my mate St Nic with the design each new owner has!
Hope you all like. I will blog my progress.......
