[Nfb-krafters-korner] Crocheted Stocking Pattern

[Dixie]

Next year.  Whatever directions you can give are great.  I am a seasoned
crochetter, so the directions need not be in depth.



Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
 Dixie

Dixie,

I don't have it written out and will have to do that. Are you a crocheter 
who needs detail or will general directions work for you? I ask because I'm 
able to give general directions easier than specifics but want to write it 
out in detail too. Do you need it for this Christmas or in time for next 
year?  Greg

Oh, I too would love copies of those patterns...  both full size and
ornament sized.

Theresa,

It is one of those things I just know how to do. But, I could write one out
after Christmas if you wanted. Do you want a big one or an ornament size?
I'll get measurements.
