I decided that my big Christmas knitting project would be a gift for my husband. But, before I even began his gift, I thought it would be great to finally knit those Christmas stockings I said I would make for us, ooh sometime last year...
Et voila! Adam's stocking is complete. At least, version 1 of his stocking. I will probably make another one, somewhat bigger and more decorative. Especially, one that will fit his stocking stuffers...

Yarn: Lamb's Pride, Worsted
Colors: M-80 Blue Blood Red, M-11 White Frost
Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) dpns
I just followed a basic sock pattern. Then, I picked up stitches along half of the top to make the name-tab. I didn't want to attempt intarsia in-the-round and wanted to model the stocking after my favorite pair of boots.

I was really surprised by how easy and fun it was to knit this sock. Leads me to many more ideas for sock-type projects. (I've already decided I will knit myself a pair of boot-socks in this shape. It will be super quick too!)
One day, I'll even make a Christmas stocking for myself. For now, back to Adam's present... while I have time enough to knit it.
