I know, the last thing you want to think about when it’s 100 degrees outside is holiday knitting, but it’s getting to be that time, my little chickadees! (Especially if you knit as slowly as I do…)
To help you get started on your holiday projects, we’re featuring ALL of the holiday stocking patterns from Annie’s Woolens free with purchase of yarn.
We recommend Stonehedge Fiber Mills’ Shepherds Worsted, Berroco Vintage, or any other worsted weight wool or wool blend yarn. (How about some gorgeous hand-dyed colors? Hmm.. I think I see a stocking in Miss Babs Yowza in my future… or maybe some Neighborhood Fiber Company… no wait, what about Madeline Tosh… )
Let it snow!

My friend and I were excited about this post, but do not know how to knit silhouette shapes (would this be fair isle?) Do you guys plan to have a class about knitting stockings in the fall?

Thanks for this post–you’re not alone! I’ve got 3 of Annie’s Woolens stockings as well as 4 pairs of stranded mittens on tap by Christmas. Knitting mittens in 90 degree heat is a drag, but the a.c. helps a little.
