Working inside-out this time...
...I lay out a pencil-roving 'name'...
...and bits of blue wool at the 'heel and toe'.
The stocking is then covered with layers of Karakul roving...
...plus white wool (from a batt) at the top.
The project is flipped to side two...
...and additional (hairy!) wool is added.
A hanging loop is fashioned at the top...
...and felting commences.
As I work...
...the 'assertive' green wool...
...begins to migrate into the white roving.
A new Christmas stocking...
...for my wonderful, soon-to-be son-in-law!
Next time: a striped Christmas stocking for Mr. Green!

Wonderful - simple, but charming!
Thanks, Rachel--He is such a tall, skinny drink of water, he says that the stocking is nearly the right size to WEAR!
