Nearly Done
I finished one of Jamey's mitts.
It's HUGE compared to my little mitt! I feel freakingly small (which I am-I wear size 4.5 rings). But I had him try it on and it fits great. I think the pattern is done. I just need to upload it. It's a real fun pattern--I am on my third pair of mitts (yeah I am working on two pairs at the same time).
I found my missing Christmas stockings. One unfortunately had a hole in it. (Sorry Mom! She handknit all of them for us. Mien is decades old and the others well obviously they are fairly recent). I was able to fix it. Because I have most of my mom's stash, I had the yarn to match and I think I fixed it pretty well. The repair is barely noticeable.
Of course, all that matters is that the stocking can hold all the goodies. ;-)
Here's all the stockings my mom made for all of us.
In order: Micci's, Mine, Jamey's and Lorelei's stockings. This year I also finally bought a cute santa with his reindeer stockings holders--much better than nails in the mantle.
I am hopeful, perhaps delusional, that I will be able to finish the second mitt for Jamey. Grin, I haven't started the cables yet and I still need to tidy up the living room.
I hope y'all (those who care) have a wonderful Yule, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day AND St. Stephen's Day (be sure to give some money for the wrens).
