In the midst of all the New Year’s Resolution fervor (which I’m much better at talking about than actually implementing, by the way) I have actually been doing quite a bit of knitting. My favorite kind of Christmas knitting is the no-deadline kind, so it makes sense that for the past two years I’ve made Christmas stocking in January. Last year I knit two – one for me and one for my husband. This year, it’s one for baby! Luckily the patterns calls for you to go back at the end and add in the name at the top in duplicate stitch, because we really haven’t decided 100% on that yet. Plus, I may have to go back and change it anyway, because if we end up naming the baby Jehosephat* but everyone ends up calling him “Jump,” I’ll switch it out to his nickname.
I’m also – FINALLY – making a black and gold brioche scarf for my husband to match a hat I finished almost exactly a year ago. I’ll try to snap a picture of that today, as well as an updated belly picture.
* I kid, Mom, I kid! You can stop hyperventilating now.
I know I have been accused of not having much of a sense of humor but I even knew that it was a joke – so no hyperventilating here!! I love the stocking!
I like your variations to this stocking. And you’re totally way ahead of the game for when your baby arrives
You’re so smart to finish the stocking before your baby arrives – less stress come next Christmas.
Awesome stocking. I really want to knit stockings for next year. I wonder if I’ll actually get that done before next Christmas. Depends a lot on Butterfly, but I suppose I have 11 months to work on it.
That is one gorgeous stocking!
in love with your baby’s stocking, boy does that sound wrong! Jehosephat would be an awesome name *L* you could call him Jump or phat!
