5.0 out of 5 stars 15 wonderful Christmas stocking projects, May 14, 2007

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! This book gives me 15 reasons to celebrate the season. There are dogs, cats, snowmen, forest animals, Christmas globes, Santas, sledding, Vintage, toys, Noah's ark, bears and, of course, the Nativity for the themes.

Each pattern is two pages so seeing the counted cross stitch graph is not too hard. A color photo accompanies each project. All you have to do to get the template for the stocking itself is enlarge one of the color photos 169%. A copy store can help with this. There are two pages of general instruction that show what the symbols mean and they also explain how to create each stitch.

My only problem was I didn't know which one to start with. Hopefully, you will be able to choose one! My needle and I will be working into the night on these wonderful projects.

This cross stitch book is very nice and has easy to understand color instructions. My only disappointment is that since I could not see inside at all the available patterns to make, this book did not have what I personally was looking for. There are mostly snowy winter scenes; not quite appropriate for a child's Christmas stocking in sunny CA where the winter is only about 50 degrees, and snow an extreme rarity! This in no way should deter you from a purchase, as the designs are very beautiful, and the print is large enough to use during your project. Some very nice teen or adult patterns in here also.
