I used different types of yarn, synthetic, cotton and an angora for the cuff... The bling are buttons sewed on last...A fun Christmas project...
A little fringy ball on the toe!...
The heel....the tricky part... Once finished ...filled with cotton batting to give it some shape and stuck in some silvery glittered branches...Merry Christmas to me!...
I do like the results...
Use your favorite sox pattern and just elongate the leg section to your liking... NOT a KNITTER?...Hit the Goodwill or Thrift store of your choice and buy a sweater that catches your eye...Cut out the shape and sew it up! The embellishing is the fun part!...Have fun with this! xoxo~Kathy...
Your fireplace all decorated looks so fresh like newly fallen snow! The stocking gives it the cozy finishing touch! Heavenly! Cathy G

Kathy what a great post, in memory of your grandmother. The stocking sure did turn out wonderfully and looks incredible on your mantle what a gorgeous layout you have.

Hi Kathy! Oh, what a beautiful knitted stocking you've made. Love the soft colors you've used and the little extras - the fluffy yarn for the 'cuff' and the little pom pom on the toe. So sweet. I sure wish I could knit. I can crochet, but just never learned to knit.

This is very pretty. I like the contrast on the fireplace. You do nice work!

chael is always the little sparkle on the cookie..
How well it fits into your colour scheme and decorating theme.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely stocking! I adore the angora cuff -- very nice touch! You knit very well too! I've done sweaters, hats, etc., but never attempted a sock. Unless baby booties count!

Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteHow pretty - from the soft colors to the yarn choices! It is beautifully made. I don't knit either, but I am crocheting again. Yesterday I made my first crocheted snowflakes (thanks to Lucy at Attic24 sharing her pattern!). Doesn't it warm your heart to make something especially when it brings memories of your grandmother. I remember my material grandmother showing me how to crochet at a very early age.
