I finally finished the 2 stockings I’ve been working on. They’re made for a lady at my church. I washed them and dried them. Which is ok since they’re made with acrylic yarn. I had hoped it would soften them up a bit but it didn’t do it as much as I’d wanted. But once they’re used they should (I hope) soften more. Of course i’m nervous that the lady who asked me to make them will not like them or not want to pay what i’m asking… we’ll see tomorrow.

If you’re wanting to make a stocking but one that isn’t so involved as a color worked one. I wrote a pattern up last year for a toe up striped stocking (ravelry link) I’d love for you to buy the pattern and knit yourself a stocking. Here’s a quote from ravelry “This festive and lovely stocking will light up anyone’s fireplace. Use it as wrapping for your holiday gifts or let it be your gift.This pattern used bulky weight and is knit tightly for a sturdy fabric. No felting and no lining needed!” You can purchase it right through Ravelry and store it in your library.
