Stocking Re-Created

I just finished the Christmas stocking I started back in August for a friends nephew. The original knitter of the Christmas stocking was a tricky knitter, she gave me a run for my money as I re-created her masterpiece.

I did everything as exact as I could right down to the braided hanger.

Here it is laying next to the original. I hope Nick enjoys the stocking for many years to come!

About Me

Name: Carrie

Location: Minnesota, United States

I am a 30-something dental hygienist living in MN with my Weimaraner Casey, and missing my Boxer Flea. My husband Kyle is my best friend. I drive a 10 year old truck and a 9 year old motorcycle. My brother is currently serving in the US Air Force stationed in New Mexico. I love Rice Krispie bars, all things Tangerine/Mandarin Orange and Pistachio, Peanut M&M's, caramel, Jelly Bellys, comfortable shoes, cowboy/rodeo fabric, warm blankets, handmade quilts, soft pillows, really good chocolate and lazy days. I dislike litterbugs, dry hands, burned popcorn, slow drivers, below zero days and poor service & dirty silverware at restaurants. I'm currently enjoying my new Android phone, working on my UFO's and reading Recalculating on my nook. I'm looking forward to Christmas!
