Here are my first attempts at some little knitted Christmas decorations the gingerbread man I made last week from an old pattern I had and the little Christmas stockings I made yesterday afternoon, I have never knitted anything with a 'pattern' on it before and I couldn't believe how easy it was once I'd got the hang of it (although don't fancy doing it on a bigger scale hehehe!!!). I think the Gingerbread man needs a bit of work?!, but I am really happy with the stockings, they were fun though and whiled away an hour or so while hubby watched footie on TV and Ed was on the computer!

I got the pattern for the stockings from a website where you can download free knitting patterns for your own use, I am sure all you experienced knitters know about it! I think it's called Knitting Pattern Central something like that, I downloaded loads the other day! Great for a beginner like me.
