Sweater Stockings

Don't throw out those old Nordic sweaters! If you're feeling crafty, you can give them new life and purpose by upcycling them into Christmas stockings. The directions can be found at Sweet Paul magazine, founded by Norwegian-born stylist Paul Lowe.

Sweet Paul is a great go-to for holiday inspiration throughout the year. When Easter rolls around, we'll be featuring some of Paul's recipes for a festive Nordic Easter brunch. Look for them in our March issue!
