So I finally finished Jeff's stocking.  I had written a little blurb yesterday but somehow it got lost.  The jist of the story - don't start something without a pattern or at least a clue.  I cut, I ripped, I swore.  But - after many hours - I'm finished.  And I'm quite happy with the results.  Now . . . 2 more to go. And if I have time, I'll redo Charlie's because he'll have a complex if he has to use the stocking I made for him.
