ON (and off) the Needes Friday
I love the feeling of finishing things! One of my first knitting projects was Christmas stockings. That was about 35 years ago. About 10 years ago I thought I would replace them with something a little more elegant. No one wanted anything to do with the new ones. And since everyone has moved away, I get requests to make Christmas stockings for their homes. Our youngest was married in September. I made Christmas stockings for them including their dog two years ago. This year Mrs. M asked me to make one for her MIL.
On my needles is a stocking cap in a lovely Chocolate brown. Several times a month, we gather at our LYS for charity knitting. I will be taking the finished projects to the Soup Kitchen in a few weeks.

What a great idea - I hadn't thought of knitting Christmas stockings!!! I better plan it for next year though - I'd never get even one done this year LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea to knit caps to give to the soup kitchen. Someone will be a lot warmer this winter because of your thoughtfulness.
