Notes

Nov. 3 (pm): DONE!!!!!!!!!

Nov. 3 (am): Foot and toe are done! Now to go back and do the heel and weave in all ends :)

Nov. 2: Soooo… two years after starting this stocking, I’m determined to finish it ;) I win the award for “longest time a project hibernated”, ha! I’m determined to hang a finished stocking this year.

Dec. 14: Oh, poor stocking. You’ve taken the back burner!! Most presents should be done by Friday so I can devote the weekend to polishing this baby off :)

Nov. 22: So close! I’m knitting a dozen other Solstice gifts whilst working on this one but I hope to get it done over the 8+ hours of driving that will occur over the next few days :) I added a band of pink and blue acorns and a band of beetles that I designed.

Nov. 18: This is definitely not going to be a conventionally colored stocking! I’m going for a woodland creatures motif. The first animal pattern will be a mash up of this stag and this mama and fawn couple that I drew. (See pic two).

Others I’m fond of and aspire to incorporate:
acorns
squirrels
toadstools
hares

Used the Berroco Knitted Alphabet.

And I will be blocking the acrylic thanks to this site.
