Today's holiday theme is a little one: I started Mama's stocking this evening. I had crocheted red and green stockings for the kiddos two years ago but had never gotten to mine or Mama's. Now, no worries, we have other stockings, but I want a family set. And I had bought the yarn back then. I even relocated the pattern, realizing though as I started that I hadn't followed it precisely. And my technique as a crocheter has changed, tightened, somewhat. So, the stockings will be similar but not exactly the same. Besides, Mama's is this great slate blue and my is a dark, dusty rose, all in Lion Brand's Wool Ease. Once I finish the stockings--and I do hope to complete them both before Christmas Eve--we'll put the novelty buttons on them that we've been gathering these last two years. It's a nice gentle way to kick off the holiday season.
