The Christmas stocking preparations

@brittarnhild

Yes, I need to start this year´s stocking.
But first there are some preparations to be done.

Up in my studio I clean the desk just enough to give space for my knitting scrapbook, some drawing and some cutting. I have knitted stockings before with god jul/Merry Christmas, and have kept the pattern. But one with Leander´s name is new, so his letters need to be drawn.

Leander was born on December 7th, two years ago. We did not know his name until he was born, but our daughter and son in law called the unborn baby lille krøll, little curl. Of course I had to knit a baby stocking for lille krøll.

I´ll keep updated on the Christmas knitting stocking,
may be even give you the pattern as I go.......

´Tis the season.......soon

@brittarnhild

I am not at all a fan of bringing forward the holiday season too early. Morst of December is Advent for me, and Advent is purple. Christmas only starts in the night of the 23rd, Little Christmas Eve, or lillejulaften as we call it here in Norway. Our tree is not put up until that night, neither are the other decorations. Well, at least this is how it has been traditionally. Things have changed over the last few year, to stay away from the Christmas stress, I have started to put up a few decorations though Advent, one or two at a time.......but Christmas NEVER starts until the night of lillejulaften.

But of course I can´t wait with the Christmas knitting until lillejulaften. Then nothing would be finished till next Christmas. 

So today I have found my stash of red, green and white yarn, and will start on another stocking. I knit at least one every December. Sometimes with fair isle pattern only, other times I knit in the name of the person who will get the finished stocking.

This year I have a name to knit.......

.......and I need to start the stocking :-)
