Trying something new


Every other year we add another child to the family...thus another stocking to the batch.  The green stocking I crocheted for Johnathan and the pink one for Abigail.  This year I am working on Evelyn's stocking.  I was hoping to knit a stocking for her (I have been going to a knitting group...learning how to knit).  I found that I was able to learn to knit fairly easily...but I am OH SO SLOW at producing anything.  It took me a month to complete an odd sized wash cloth (mainly because I rarely had time to work on it).  So I figured if Evelyn wanted her stocking before she was 12 I should start crocheting it.  I found a pattern for a granny square stocking (it gives it a polka-dotted look).  I got half way done and lost interest in it...so between now and next month I must find it within me to finish the stocking!  Caroline I think we need another ladies craft night!
