Well, I have set aside Adair’s “Jillian’s Stocking” by Shepherd’s Bush, to work on Alec’s “Brett’s Stocking” for a little while, as hers I seem to be waiting on several floss colors (a few different greens which I need for many things, as well as the black, which will fill in the missing rows on the sleeve, as well as at the base of the dress and dots on the Angel’s wing.
I just started Alec’s as well, and so far have only just a little to show for it, but still, it’s a start none-the-less ; ) I told them that I would work one of their stocking, then the other, so eventually I’d finish them both at the same time so they wouldn’t feel left out. What we mothers will do to excuse our desire to start multiple projects at the same time. (*wink*)
I really am enjoying the speed of how these work up. The 18ct. linen is so nice for tired eyes and the perle cotton is fun to work with for a change. A stitch or thirty a day is what I’m aiming for to help make progress on these, afterall, if I can complete them, then I have an even better excuse to start the stocking for my husband and myself!

Your stockings are looking great, don’t you just love how quickly they progress with the larger count fabric and thicker thread?

Yes Joanne! They go so fast! I love the sheens of the perle cottons too! Just so reflective of the light and so pretty! I secretly love not having to seperate the floss! *snort* These truly seem easy compared to working with 32ct and one strand of silk, or even the one over one which just about does me in! For the word rows of the Emmanuel’s Song or the recent Angel’s Song that I’m working on, I really have to be in the mood for one over one! haha!
