I made these (super christmassy) stockings yesterday, while my husband first took the kids outside and later watched this movie with them. I enjoyed it last year at the movies. It is SO good and very Swedish and very Christmassy. The whole setting is absolutely wonderful. You can even buy it at Amazon in English! One of our cats is named after the cat in this movie - Findus - he's so cute, with his little hat and pants....
By the way, my son picked out the fabric for his stocking, after I made the one for my daughter. I had other plans for it, but he disagreed! After seeing her brothers stocking with animals on, my sweet little girl cried. She wanted that too, so I had to add a little creature after wards! She was happy. Momma thought it looked better without. Oh well. I get to make a few more for a friend's kids. Then I decide entirely how they look!!
What a bautiful trailer! Love to see the movie! And Kiet too!

De er totalt skønne de julestrømper. Jeg kan vildt godt lide det stof med det røde mønster;-)

it is a great thing when dads watch tv with the children, whilst mums do the sewing!

Wow, where did you find that red and white fabric? (I`ve only seen clothes with the pattern here in Finland.)
The reindeer and the snowman in the previous post were great - I have to make a snowman of my own, I think. And by the way, I just adore your knit dogs! Lovely.

Great stockings! My kids love that cat. We have books, but we have not seen that movie.

Kristina,
I NEED those stockings! Why not sell them? You are so talented, you should get your work out there.
Maybe a few stockings on the Lille Hus website next Christmas????
