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.

Primitive knitting is born! :)

I love your adorable little stocking. Did you have a nice pakjesavond? I bet the snow is especially gorgeous out where you are. Your sweet litte cottage in the forest. :)

Hoping your holidays will be full of love, good memories, and love.

Your little Christmas stocking is just adorable and I love how you use it for decoration.
I hope Pelle is doing a lot better by now and I wish you both a peaceful Christmas time with just the right amount of snow.

It's fun using it as a christmas stocking. As I remember, you have more socks, you should have them all hang out!

have good days, even in the difficult moments, when you'll feel the loss of the last year.

I hope that you and Pelle have a wonderful Christmas time and that you two have an illness free time.
