I decided that LIlia needed a homemade stocking and so I set out to knit/felt one. I haven’t had a new knitting project in a while, although i’ve been knitting a blanket for the better part of three years now. It was nice to have something to refocus on (just like Becky said it would). And, although I know the magic of felting, it’s difficult to keep in mind when your stocking is coming out to be such a beast!
Here is the before…
and here is the after…
I used the same model each time so you could really see the difference..heehee. I will spare you the harsh critique of my own work, overall I am quite pleased with the result! In the process I learned how to do a sock heel and the kitchener stitch :) I am sure Santa will enjoy filling up the stocking!
Happy Holidays, everyone!
Lovely and still large. Santa better have lots in his pack. Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas to all!
At first glance, I actually thought the sweatshirt said “Beef is Good.” I’m just saying….
well, let’s be honest…Jordan would also wear that sweatshirt…
My favorite part of this post: the Beer is Good sweatshirt. The stocking is cute, too! ;-) Another wonderful Jenna creation. How’s Lilia?
Haha…nice. Well now that you mention it, MY favorite part is the stains on said Beer Is Good sweatshirt. Oh brother! :) Lilia is great, thanks for asking! She’s looking forward to her Christmas travels, although I don’t think we will cross paths, will we? Sad times.
Yep, stains, too! LOL! We will not cross paths unless, of course, you’re traveling to Vegas! Drew surprised me with it – looking forward to getting away and heading west. Will you be around at Easter time? If you will, I will seriously consider coming home. Mia and I were thinking of heading to Big Sur, but we can do that anytime; I’d much rather see you guys and meet Miss Lilia!
