Eleanor's First Stocking
Oh Gosh - I still haven't introduced you all to E yet. The Princess and The Sports Writer had a beautiful baby girl on January 23, 2017. She is just the most perfect thing ever. I strongly advise everyone to have grand kids. :D
Ravelry says that back in 2009 - I decided to knit new Christmas stockings for our family of 4. Everyone picked their favorite color - JB chose Eagles Green; The Musical One = purple; The Princess = hot pink; and I got lime. The 4 original stockings are the same.
Then, The Princess got married. So, it only seemed right that The Sports Writer got a stocking. His stocking is slightly different than The Princess' and the rest of the family. Similar but different. This was gifted to The Sports Writer in 2014, after the wedding.
We picked a soft pink and white for E's First Christmas Stocking - I say first, because as she grows up, she might want a different color and I'm okay with that. As you can see - E's sock is similar but different from the others. I really love the striped instep on this one. I love the way the stripes look and the snowflakes across the top of the foot.
