Christian's Stocking

I noticed that Hinterland had some new episodes. (They've probably been new for ages.) So the dude and I have been spending some time watching. That and the drive to Maine gave me quite a lot of time to stitch this stocking for Jersey. If I can get it done by October, and I hope to, I can have these finished for my sister's family this Christmas.

Alas, I have found another missing color. It shows up in several of the parts I have already stitched--the hearts, the dingbats on the bottom of the stocking, Santa's cape. And somehow, I've also lost the brown of his skin. There are maybe five stitches in his face! Maybe I put it in the Mary's Stocking project bag? I shall look tonight.

This is how we left it last November.

Will continue to work on it next week. Wish me luck!

Great progress on this stocking! Hope the missing threads show up soon.

I always have several things going at the same time and I frequently get things mixed up. Hope you find the missing threads. Both projects look great.

Looking good! I've misplaced parts to UFOs and not been able to find them. I hate when that happens. Been catching up on blog reading, so majorly catching up on yours. I envy you your trip to Denmark!

Good progress! It's so annoying when things go missing. I hope the threads turn up soon!

And guess what I'm watching while reading blogs... Hinterland! I'm on season 2, I hadn't seen it before and like it!
The stocking is looking great, hope you found the missing colour by now.
