Primitive Stocking

Sinterklaas - Saint Nicolas has returned to Spain, and so it’s time for us to get ready for Christmas. The winter faeries are doing a good job of providing us with just the right sort of weather, because we have been knee deep in snow over here (well, ankle deep at the very least). And what better way to start Christmas celebrations than with hanging up a stocking? A self-made, hand-knit stocking that is.

Granted, it doesn’t look particularly christmasy, or very well made, but I figured that if I can call a slightly less than perfect cross stitched ornament ‘primitive’, then surely I can do the same with hand-knit items? Is there such a thing as primitive knitting?
Well, if there wasn't before, there certainly is now!

For the next month or so, I’m going to spend as little time at the computer as poss, so I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I’ll see you all in the New Year!

Yours reflectively,
Annemarie.
