Knitting Blake’s Christmas Stocking

Knitting a Christmas Stocking

When I first had my children there was a lady at church who knit Christmas stockings for all the new babies.  I ended up with 3 of those treasures, one for each of my kids.  Now my children are grown up and married and I made a stocking for each of them and their spouses.  Then they started having children and I have been happily knitting Christmas stockings for everyone.

This one is for Blake.
