...Some background on the original - it was made by one of our parishoners' mother for each of her children and then each of their children (her grandchildren) - now those grandchildren have grown up and are beginning to have children of their own but sadly their Great-grandmother is no longer with us - but their Grandma wants them to have a 'family stocking' as well - so she asked if I could copy the original for each of her grandchildren - it's the one on the left - with JIM on the top - my copy is for TIM - you can see that I still need to tweak the pattern a little bit and when I get it all finished and edited I'll share it with y'all...

Oh wow, what a sweet thing for you to do!
You're so clever. The stocking looks lovely.
My grandma knit these for us when we were little. They look great!
Adorable!!
What a lovely tradition:-)
Very cute! Tweak? Really? I don't see it. I think what you have done is awesome. Peace, Angela (Peach Coglo)
Great story! I love handmade stockings and the fact that you are reworking one to continue a beloved tradition makes my heart feel warm. You really are amazing.
