I think I've just discovered that "Twas the Night Before Christmas" is grammatically inaccurate.
Well, crafting apocalypse or no, I had to finish A's stocking. It is nearly as large as he. Which, by the way, is huge. I was looking at his growth charts and he's almost seven inches longer than when he was born five months ago. SEVEN. INCHES.
Boom. Once again, I have a project that proves I might benefit from a little planning in my life. There's ... a lot going on. But I like the size and shape and I'd use the pattern again.
The largest of our stockings, A* will probably come to believe that means he should get more stuff in it. Sorry, dude.
I was going to put a red felt "A" on it, because they all have some sort of graphic element, but a baby just doesn't need a scarlet letter on his stocking. I probably should have gone without the big white stripe then, but by the time I decided to forgo the "A" it was already done. So the tree (conveniently shaped much like an "A") was made of felt and ribbon.
*Referring to August as "A" is going to get confusing, isn't it?

CUTE! You are so talented!! I hope you have a fantastic first Christmas with A :)
To paraphrase an English teacher I had once: "Stockings are hung. People are hanged."
Love it! Lucky boy.
