CHRISTMAS STOCKING BOOK GIVEAWAY











This is actually more of a booklet than a book but the charts are nice and big which is always appreciated. It is The Handknitted Christmas Stocking Book by Edward Myatt. Here are the projects in it:







Please leave a comment on the tagboard or in the Squawkboxtv comments or send an email if you are interested in signing up for the contest. I'll post the winner of the booklet on Thursday afternoon.





I started working on a double knit hat. Double knitting is slow going but fun nonetheless. The pattern is called Double Knit Hats by Nancy Lindberg and I got the pattern at Vintage Knits. I may have to start over because I don't think I will have enough yarn. This hat also has a modified French hem which was fun. Essentially you do the long tail cast on (a provisional one would have been easier) knit a few rows, rip out the cast on then fold and double knit the two sides together.



I may scrap the double knit hat and get started on a tam for the Tamalong on ASOFlives.
