The Jacobs Series is Done

This morning, Emily will come to her office and find the stockings displayed on her table.  The stockings for her little girls are done.   Doing these is a labor of love.  Her girls are adorable!

Doing these stockings also taught me a bit about shaping.   Yes, these are things I should know.  On some level, I do.  In the actual practice of making the stocking I found I struggled a bit with the size of the foot versus the size of the leg.   Before I do the next "off the pattern" Christmas stocking, I will rethink what I did this time.   The stockings don't look bad...but could look better.
