And S is for… Solomon’s Stocking

December 13, 2011 by coldcomfortcrafts

After Rowan’s big Clare Youngs-style reindeer, I used the remaining felt to make a stocking for Sol. This time, the design is mine, albeit influenced by the reindeer. He saw it in progress and was so excited, although he did have to ask what the creature was a few times (I hope because he is unfamiliar with polar bears rather than because it is unrecognisable?!) I must admit it felt so lovely to make something for my own child- and I am ashamed that this is the first proper thing. I have left it out for him to find when he comes down in the morning. Not enough felt for Otis this year, but I’m sure he won’t mind…

You’re a woman after my own heart! I have Clare Young’s book and made a stocking using her pattern. Purl Bee is also one of my favourite websites for crafting. You have a lovely blog & crafts.

[...] a stocking for Otis. Not enough thick felt for the whole stocking, like Sol’s, but a lovely herringbone wool tweed [...]
