Xmarksthestocking
Nikki decided she wanted to make some stockings for this Christmas season. She was showing me flannel plaid at Hobby Lobby, when I remembered... Barb sent me the scraps from my XMTS tartan kilt (16 oz. wool.) There were several scraps of odd shapes and sizes. But, there was one piece that I just knew would make a stocking. Here it is. I think it came out pretty swell.

T.B.
I like the idea. Too bad the piece wasn't bigger, for a larger stocking for Santa to fill. Ho Ho Ho.
Hangs pretty neat from the harp.
Slainte.

It does look pretty tiny...
It's actually a full size stocking (she modeled it after a pre-made one from years past.) From top to heel it's 14" and from toe to heel it's 10". That fireplace is MASSIVE, makes the proportions tough to see. Here's a shot of me in front of the fireplace for an idea...
The harp is actually a stocking hanger thing from Hobby Lobby. I picked it out.
Here's a picture of the stocking with my arm in the shot...

Just remember, it's better to give than receive, unless you're receiving anything kilt related.

Great idea, and your wife did a nice job on the stocking. It looks big enough to hold a kilt belt, sgian dubh, dirk, or maybe even a sporran if folded just right.
