The C word...

As it is October, am I safe to mention Christmas?
Acrylic scraps have become little Christmas stockings courtesy of Jean Greenhowe's free pattern.  Each sock took about an hour to make, an easy TV-watching knit.
I can't wait to fill them with sweets!  Have you started any Christmas knits?

    Thank you for sharing this! I have a whole bunch of scraps that were at the bottom of the basket of some crochet cotton I bought at a thrift shop. I generally don't knit with acrylic, but these are a great use for that yarn!
    I'm still waiting on my yarn to show up from knit picks, but once it does, I'll be at my christmas knitting like a fiend. Slippers for everyone!

      Thanks for your comment. Jean Greenhowe has fantastic patterns that are perfect for using up small scraps of yarn. Great stash busters!
