Three New Christmas Stockings- Part 3 of 4

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!

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