Any ideas?
I received a call for help in an email from someone who visited my blog. She writes:
My husband has a knit christmas stocking. His whole family has one. Our daughter has one. You get the point. But our 9 month old son does not. The lady who used to make them passed away 3 months ago. Our local knitting shops are of no help. I am trying to find a knitter who can recreate a stocking from a sample. I live in California and NEED SOME HELP! Any ideas?
Amy
So.... do we have any advice for Amy? Do any of you think you can reverse engineer a Christmas stocking? I doubt that I have that skill yet....but I am sure that someone out there can do it! Let me know and I can put you in touch with Amy the Stocking Searcher. :)

Are all the stockings the same? Just with a different name? I have no clue how to go about redoing a stocking, maybe by counting stitches and graphing out the pattern. If each stocking is unique, there's a Xmas stocking book (can't off the top of my head think of the name, but I've seen it in Barnes & Noble) that she can pick up and make a new one/pay someone to make for her. Other than this, I'm out of ideas. :)

Your sister visited my blog and said our puppies look like long lost twins. I was hoping to catch a glimpse.
