| I keep this box under my bed. I finish a stocking and put it in the box. I've been making stockings on and off since Christmastime 2010... my goal is to make one stocking a week. Let's see how I am doing... |
 |
| That's 17 stockings for American Soldiers... yay! I noticed as I was laying them out that no two are alike; they all have their own personality. I love the stockings with the variegated yarn; I was sad when I used up the last of that skein. |
 |
| I am trying to refine my pattern and my heels. This stocking has a traditional heel with heel flap, gusset, and so on... |
 |
| This stocking has a short row heel. I am on a mission to figure out this type of heel. I've worked through at least three different tutorials I've found on-line (full of written instructions as well as photos and videos) and I still struggle with some pesky unwanted "eyelet" sort of holes here and there as I am turning the heel using this method. If ANYONE can steer me in the direction of a great, fantastic, fool-proof method for a short row heel... I'd love to hear all about it! |

They sure look cute all laid out and waiting to go and bring cheer to our soldiers.

I need the pattern! I have some red/ green yarn that would go great for these! You've done an super job on them! ;). K2
I will try to type up and add the stocking pattern, K2!
Wow, that's a LOT OF stockings. Maybe I should get mine out and start it -- I've been putting it off until like Christmas Eve which is probably NOT a good idea!
Kim, I love the pictures and love the stockings. As I have mentioned earlier, these stockings are going to mean a lot to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The morale is very low and they need to know we haven't forgotten them. Thanks for caring and for your participation. Sue
