I made my 2 oldest Granddaughters 24 &22 theirs when they were small, My grandson his, then came the step granddaughter 16, I just finished this year, now I have a 10 month old greatgrandson started, but sadly to say he won't get it this year, first one on 18 count and it's a hard one, but should have it ready for him next year. They look so forward to seeing what's in them every year. You use to be able to walk into any Joann's, Hancocks, Michaels or Hobby Lobby and find several choices, I've had to order offline recently, cause no one has them in the stores here anymore. What happened to the counted cross-stitch stockings, I even checked out Hershners and they didn't offer many either. I really liked yours.

Very pretty. I used to cross-stitch before I started quilting so I can appreciate the hours of work involved in these lovely stockings.
