Last Minute Christmas Stockings



Christmas stockings were one of many things I didn't remember to pack for our year away. Left over yarn from my seasonal yarn bomb was used to do a green, red and white striped stocking for one of my sons, but I bought some aptly titled "Christmas Red" 100% Peruvian Highland Wool by Cascade from Espace Tricot to complete the other stocking.

For the striped stocking, I tried the Magic Loop technique for the first time. To make it a time of multiple firsts, I also did an afterthought heel. Both were interesting to experiment with, but for my second stocking I went back to my tried and true four double point needles and traditional heel!
