Christmas Stockings

My niece wanted some handknitted stockings for her family.

I found a basic pattern and then modified it

I used 4 mm needles and 4 different stripe patterns.

All the heels and toes are red and all the cuffs are white with a green motif.
Hanging loops are green  i cord.

Names are duplicate stitch

Baby Blanket #3



Well baby #3 needs her own blankies .  I used the same pattern as for MRR and KDR but different colours.

Here is the first of the two




It took about 2 weeks to knit , so I should have time to get the other one done after our vacation!!
This one was as easy as the others.  I added 8 garter rows for the border on this one.
