I made David’s aka He-Man’s stocking back in the early mid 80’s. It’s counted cross stitch, and has an error or two, but those are hard to find. My Mother made mine, my son, and daughters in the early 80’s. I just bought a kit to make #1 Grandson’s. This year his stocking is store-bought with his initial J on it. I hope to have his counted cross stitch stocking completed by Christmas 2014.
I love our handmade stockings. Each stocking is unique mine is counted cross stitch, my daughter’s is needle-point, and my son’s is satin stitch. I pack them in a special box, and I look forward to hanging them each Christmas. They are among my most favorite and cherished Christmas decorations.
