socks and hats for Xmas lol

Wow, that's quite the collection, Sheena! The devil isn't going to be
able to get to you, not with *those* busy hands! Oh wait...he already
has! r,d,h! Now that they're all supplied with socks & hats, what's
for Christmas this year?

Seriously, I had been wishing you were a bit closer these last couple of
weeks. Mom started a Christmas stocking for her newest
great-great-grandson and has had a devil of a time with it. She redid
the name 3 times, then part of the main design 3 times and then she got
to the heel. Now, she has knit probably 100 stockings, so it's not that
she's a stranger to heel directions, but this stocking has some really
strange directions. I couldn't figure it out so I brought it to work to
ask a couple of knitters there. One said to rip it out and use
different directions, so that's what she did. Luckily it had the same
number of stitches as the original pattern. Then she got off track
again (keep in mind that she's nearly 96!), so I took it again and asked
a different knitter. She explained to me how to pick up stitches along
the sides (I'd never done that before). Well, I worked with it a bit
and, after a bit of fudging, I think I've finally got it back on track
for her. She'll be very happy when she's done with this one!!!
