Back in November, my cousin asked me to knit a Christmas stocking for her son [my godson].
I started knitting the day before Thanksgiving and was done by the following Wednesday. It knit up far faster than I thought it would (thank goodness!). I ended up designing it myself, including the tree motif (Ravelry link) from Handknit Holidays Evergreen Gift Bag. I knitted it top down with a short row heel. I think I included too many short rows though because the heel just seems too big. I have been considering sewing it up to be a bit smaller… Maybe that’s overkill.
All that’s left to do is sew the hanging loop to the top of the sock and a bell to the toe. I’m planning to send it off to Iowa on Monday!
[I'll post pictures soon!]

No such thing as too big when it comes to a stocking! Just think how much extra stuff might fit in that heel

That is a good point! Perhaps the heel is the perfect size then…
