A Sheep In Wools' Clothing

Christmas Stocking

For 24 years, I've been knitting stockings for my four kids, a DIL, a stepgrandson, mother, etc.  I've never made myself one, until Cat Bordhi designed one last year for her grandson, Charlie.  Charlie's stocking has treat pockets for reindeer and Santa treats, which have disguised the instep increases quite nicely.  It is felted, using chunky weight yarn, on size 11 or 13 needles.  It is a very quick knit - I think mine was done in two days, and the third day I worked in the ends pre-felting.  It took another week to get around to felting it.

Details:
Pattern:  Charlie's stocking
Designer:  Cat Bordhi
Yarn:  Spunky Eclectic Big Ball sweater yarn in "Grinchy" and "Killer Tomatoes"
Needles:  Knit Picks Harmony, size 11

Puppy Update

I've been asked by several people for a puppy update.  My main problem is that Sam is either a blur on camera, or is standing over his puppy shreddings, which I really don't want to post for the world to see.  I don't need a shredder any more - he shreds anything paper or cardboard he can reach.

Here he is at six month, playing with our 8.5 yo female German shepherd, Bagira.  He is taller than she, and now weighs 73 lbs.  He has doubled his weight in 2.5 months....
