I just finished a big batch of Christmas stockings today for next weekend’s holiday show. Picking out just the right cuff for each one is half the fun. A batch of mittens is next!

In November, my newly-married daughter called and said, “I was thinking of sewing a pair of Christmas stockings for us — but then I thought of you…” Could I maybe sew them a pair? Would there be enough time? Her request fell into place after the year-end orders, and then I made the time. So for my dear daughter and son-in-law on the occasion of their first Christmas: keepsake woolen Christmas stockings.
(Unfortunately, our house is not equipped with its own fireplace mantel for the perfect photo shoot, but I do have this gorgeous oak buffet passed down from my parents. Hmmm, yes, I think it’ll do.)
Green for him:
And red for her:
Stockings are 18.5″ long, 10″ wide, lined with cotton knit.
