These family stockings show a wonderful variety of pictures, while maintaining a very recognizable style. They're a little unusual in that there is no leg shaping, and they're a little more narrow than many. The consistent patterns of red, green, and white keep them strongly connected, while the little splashes of other colors add a lot to the interest. These are wool stockings, and most were knitted by someone else. I knitted the one at the extreme right, with the candlestick and the gingerbread boy, and the third one from the right, with the toy soldier.

The snowman stocking on the right was a gift for the first child. The mother asked me to duplicate the design when the second and third children were born. We changed the snowman's background from pink to blue for the little boy. These stockings are knit in a wonderful rustic style wool. It's a bit thicker than the wool I regularly use, and has rich shaded colors that are just beautiful.

The red Santa stocking on the right has belonged to my customer for many years. She asked me to make a partner stocking for her husband, the green Santa on the left. I knitted the two-color stockings for their grandchildren and family pets.

These lucky beagles got to wear custom scarves for their Christmas photo.

This alpaca was knitted from a pattern I wrote for a breeder of black huacaya alpacas. She had a friend knit one to be sure the pattern was easy to follow. The yarn is a wonderful quality natural 100% undyed alpaca.

This baby blanket was knitted in a very soft acrylic, so it can be machine washed and dried as often as needed. There is no fringe for baby to choke on, and there are no holes for little fingers to get caught in.

Amy sent me photos of her stocking so that I could duplicate the unusual Santa. She asked for color changes as well.

This family had added several family members, and wanted matching stockings for them. I knit five of the eight stockings in the photo.

This family had stockings in two variations of the same design. I was asked to knit 4 more stockings using the variation in the original "Bill" stocking.

The stocking on the left is the original that I was asked to copy. It was so unique that the customer preferred not to mail it, so she sent me several photos and measurements.  This is the photo she sent after the new stockings arrived.
