One of my most prized possessions is my huge green stocking that my Gma Baker made for me as a baby. All the cousins have one. Several of my ex-boyfriends have one as well. I promised I wouldn’t do that again…these stockings aren’t for just anyone but very very special someones (of course I couldn’t if I wanted to since Gma passed away only 10 days after writing that post.)
Now I’ve found He Who Makes Me Smile….hmmmm.
And somehow he can’t find his stocking. In fact he doesn’t even remember a stocking being an important part of Christmas traditions as a kiddo.
So of course I simply MUST get him a huge crochet granny square stocking like the one I have!
OOPS silly me, I FORGOT TO LEARN HOW TO CROCHET AGAIN. (Boo, bad Jen!) I turned to Etsy and found a few lovely samples. But did I read what the size was? NO. Instead. And I kid you not. I estimated the size by COUNTING THE NUMBER OF GRANNY SQUARES.
Seriously.
Hence, I ended up paying $10 for a MINI stocking for He Who Makes Me Smile.
At least it made us laugh.
Now I really have to learn how to crochet! (And find another stocking to put all his fun presents in!)
(Shakes. Head.)
