Great Book for Handspinners & Stash Resource Managers, 2 Dec 2001
By Sheri Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Christmas Stockings: 18 Holiday Treasures to Knit (Paperback)
Along with handspinnning and knitted lace, Christmas stockings are right at the top of my list of ~The most wonderful things to knit~. In my opinion, this book is one of the nicest compiliations of Christmas stockings to date. The first thing that grabbed my attention on all of the patterns was that they weren't "brand yarn
specific". Each pattern lists the type of yarn by weight, ie. 2-ply worsted, bulky, sport, etc. This makes yarn choices very easy for handspinners or knitter's who already have a stash of yarns to chose from. (Note: specific yarns used in each stocking are listed at the end of the book for you to use if desired).
This book is a definite must have and a keeper for any knitter's library!

A stocking for everyone, 2 Feb 2004
By A. Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Christmas Stockings: 18 Holiday Treasures to Knit (Paperback)
For years I have knitted Christmas stockings for friends and finally resorted to designing my own patterns because most of the patterns I found were ultimately ugly and clumsy. This book, however, contains unique patterns that will please any taste. I always like to put names on my stockings, so a little pattern editing is necessary, but otherwise the designs are excellent. The yarns range from bulky to fingering weight, and the designs range from nordic-inspired to Victorian to a dog's stocking. Certainly the best Christmas stocking patterns I have found.

Nice book - if you're into Christmas stockings, 15 Nov 2001
By Carol Peterson Hennekens - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Christmas Stockings: 18 Holiday Treasures to Knit (Paperback)
Christmas stocking have never been a tradition in my family. Still, when my friend Lynn Gate's stocking was chosen to be the cover sock for this book, I had to check it out. My conclusion - if you're a knitter with a need or a yen for Christmas stockings, this is a very inspirational tome. There's tremendous variety in the stockings presented from a felted, hot colors stocking knit up in Noro to some delicate lace affairs. All of the instructions are for stockings knit from the top down and most of the stockings have traditional gusseted heels. Of course, the best part of knitting these gems is that you only have to knit one - no second sock syndrome. Bottom line - a good book for intermediate or better knitters who want to knit Christmas stocking with more complexity and pizazz than the free patterns on the internet.
