Woolwinder asked about our other Christmas stockings, so here they are! Charles’ mother, Gene, knitted his when he was a child. Gene is short for Eugenia, a beautiful name, though she said she didn’t like it much. It’s Ella’s middle name.
I made the other two, and they were among my early published designs. (“Christmas Stocking,” Knitting World, pp. 27 ff., August/September 1991)
When I was growing up, my family didn’t have a Christmas stocking tradition. Those two stockings came in handy for Eva and me, when Santa started bringing stocking stuffers to our house.
Ella’s stocking was done just in time for Santa. Picture next time.
