Socks and Stockings

Yes after many years I finally knit myself a pair of socks. The yarn is Alpaca yarn from Henry's Attic purchased years ago. Then when we had knitting machines at a guild meeting for our "Learning Tree" I ran a double strand of yarn threw the machine to make a blank for dyeing. Wala matching socks and I have yarn for one more pair. I knit both socks at the same time. My last pair I was knitting is still minus one. Just can't go back and do the same project over again.
My next stocking is for Christmas. I have the prettiest Christmas box for my brothers present last year, so I put the box in my scanner to keep a picture of it. The stockings were old world and just the way I like them. This stocking looks like one of the three in the picture. The light color is Shetland, from Bella my ewe, and the red is Corriedale x roving I dyed. Everything is wet felt. I haven't had much luck looking for brass bells so the bells are felted also from some BFL.

It has a hanger you can't see. It is spun from the same BFL then braided to look like a cord.
