Christmas Stocking #1


Here it is, the beginning of the holiday knitting! I bought the yarn on Saturday and cast on that afternoon. I got all the way through the red snowflake band and ripped back as I was not thrilled with the letters or the snowflakes. I like the lettering better this go around, the snowflakes remain to be seen....

The pattern is from A Cuff Above the same book I knit the Ivy Socks from. I love this book and I am adapting the pattern a little bit to make them unique for Charly and Madison.

Using Plymouth Encore Yarn, which is 75% acrylic and 25 % wool so it feels good and it should hold up for many years of Christmas morning fun!
