I don’t promote my TracyKM Designs anymore, but once in awhile I’ll get a request for another Christmas stocking from a previous client. I just can’t say no!
I started in early summer, I think. It was an on again, off again relationship. I had wanted to be done for the first weekend in December, but I didn't really realize the first weekend came so early LOL. I also unexpectedly got a full time job (teaching). I finally cracked down and got to it. I always seem to make a mistake on the stockings for this lady, and when I held it out to take a look...I was duplicate stitching the back details upside down. Eek!
Picked that out, went to bed, and got back to it.
I am out of the teal that I used before, but everything else is the same--I think. I wasn't sure what I had done for the white. I know I had made stockings with 3 strands of Woollike for the white, but I couldn't tell from the photos if it was these ones. I also wasn't sure if I used this grey or a lighter one. This is just what happens when you try to make identical items over many years--yarns get discontinued, colours change, etc. I do the best I can. I do take a lot of pride in my work so I want it perfect though!
