Making Spirits Bright, worked in wool needlepoint, made up as a Christmas stocking. Wool needlepoint has a firm, flat surface that lets the design read clearly from across the room.
Hang it from the mantel, a stair rail, or a bedpost. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
Santa balances a star-topped tree on one shoulder and a green satchel of toys on the other, a wreath and a small nutcracker at his side, on cream with a bright red cuff and red edging. Plenty to look at without ever tipping over into clutter.

Needlepoint is patient work, and the stitch count is what gives the design its fine detail and the piece its firm, even surface. Christmas designs are produced in limited runs each year, and wool is one of the few materials that outlasts the season it was bought for. A thoughtful gift for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
