Stocking Stitched

Zach’s Stocking
Originally uploaded by Dtkpmom.
Here was my Christmas gift to my nephew. He has a better stocking than my own kids do. I didn’t knit when they were small. Now I have to start making more stockings. The pattern is Evergreen from Annie’s Woolens . I knit it in about five days. I ordered the pattern on Thanksgiving and had it finished by The Feast of St. Nicholas. It is stranded knitting for most of the colorwork. The name and heart are duplicate stitched.
The stocking is also very huge. They will return it to me after Christmas and I am going to line it. I will try to get a picture with something in it for perspective.
