Last night I'd fully intended to read alot of Potter but when I clicked on A&E there was an episode of Cold Case Files on at 8 so I picked up the nearest thing to stitch and met the goal I'd set for myself on the weekend so now I can get back to Giggles...
Charmed Stocking progess
Do any Giggles stitchers know what is supposed to go in his right mitten where I've left a one square hole?? The pattern has a really bright pink but I think that's a mistake. Here's how far I got with Giggles before moving to the small beading project above (darn when the instructions ask you to cross stitch the petit beads, I zoom through the half stitched beads, plus the greens looked very similar so it took having my bead bowl under the light, not my usual stitching position)
Giggles Progress
Oh back to Potter, I did get a chapter read last night, considering it was 20+ pages I consider that pretty good, it was really hard to put the book down and go to bed at a decent hour. I think Alex and I'll be starting the first book in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events or maybe I can stall him long enough until we go to the mall Sunday for Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and pick up a new Roald Dahl book then, I guess we'll play it by ear!

I haven't stitched the mittens yet so I haven't noticed the symbol you're talking about...I'll check out my pattern tonight.
I've noticed about 3 places now where a stitch colour didn't seem to make sense so I've replaced it with a neighboring colour (one was a flesh-tone on the cuff of the mitten).
Giggles and your stocking both look great!
As a children's librarian and a stitcher I love your choice of books to share with Alex. I loved it when my teachers read my Roald Dahl at school - favourite was Fantastic Mr Fox (first one I ever heard), all his books are great.
I enjoyed Unfortunate events too (but have only read first two - never on the shelves at my work!
I'm not sure which one it is either. I would just fill it in with a neighboring color, well I probably did. I do remember that there is a mistake on each arm right at the cuff and I made each one of those color 500 like the surrounding stitches.
Both your pieces look great :)
