Christmas Stockings!


A dear friend of mine, Pam gave my Mom hats that her Aunt had knitted to give to all of her grandkids.  When I saw the hats I immediately thought of Christmas stockings.  Growing up we all had our own hand knitted Christmas Stockings.  I LOVED them!  They had our names on them and were white, green and red.  I have wanted some for my own family, but the only place I have seen some kind of like the ones from my childhood were on Etsy and they were VERY Expensive!  I asked Pam if she thought her Aunt Emma could knit our family some Christmas stockings, she said she was sure she could.  Pam said it turned out to be a great project for her Aunt.  She enjoyed making them for us.  Well, Pam brought the finished product over today.  They look WONDERFUL!!!! I am SOOOOO excited to have stockings for my kids.  Now Santa will have a place to put an orange for Christmas morning!
