My daughter and her family have a cockapoo named Piper. She was one year old this fall, so last Christmas she was only a few months old. I didn't get around to making her a Christmas stocking last year, but I promised I would make her one before Christmas 2014. Then I promptly forgot about it. When the decorations came out for the season, there was no stocking for Piper. They reminded me that she needed one to match the rest of the family. The stores don't sell the exact yarn I used in the other stockings anymore, but fortunately I had enough left to do the job. Hopefully I won't have any more stockings to make or I will be scrounging in thrift stores for another skein. On Thursday, I thought I better get started. After all, it's less than two weeks until Christmas. I used the pattern I created in a previous blog except I charted out a doggie theme. My dog looks a little strange, but I never claimed to be an artist. The line by his butt is supposed to be a tail in case you were wondering.

| Ewan's first Christmas. I can't believe that was 4 years ago. |
Lovely. How can I add a name
