It must have been a popular pattern back in the 60's and 70's. It's a big stocking, so your guage may be just fine. My MIL wanted to make some for us, but she says they pattern is really confusing.

The only modification she made was to include "56" after her name. I was born the next year and got a slightly different model with a beautifully beaded Christmas tree rather than the Santa. Thanks for the memories! I will be sure to download the pattern when it becomes available---I have my own daughter to make one for!

My mom just this year tried to contact the gal that knit them for us in the 80's to get the pattern to make more. Thanks for the heads up on who's pattern it is - I will be sure on the lookout and would really (Really) appreciate a copy of the copy you have!

It's so great that you're keeping up a Thelma tradition -- so great. Regarding the herringbone sweater back, I love the way it looks. And the rich color you got in the photo is beautiful.

If some (or all!) of you spend the holiday together you'll have to get a pic of them all hanging together! And I really enjoy the progress shots. I feel like I haven't been able to get many since we lost the afternoon light. Hopefully this weekend! Anyway, I have a feeling this will be another Ruth classic ;) I love that stocking – And I still love that you all will have one – so very cool.
