Rustic Lodge Stockings

Hello Everyone! I'm making the Rustic Lodge Stockings from the Knit Christmas Stockings book for my children. I just cast on for my son's yesterday. I'm using the suggested yarn and colors, Lopi in Fire Tweed and Spruce Tweed. My son's will be green with red trim, and my daughter's will be red with green trim. I have planned to embroider their names on the stockings, but with the insanely long "to-knit" list I've got for this holiday season, I may wait until after Christmas to put their names on.

I'm looking forward to hearing about everyone's pattern choices and progress!
