My mother is a very skilled needlepoint artist. When I was a little boy, she made a lovely needlepoint stocking for me. In 1979, she created a small companion piece for the large stocking. This beautiful stocking hangs on the Christmas tree. Expertly crafted, this little stocking shows a true mastery of the craft with its series of very complicated stitches and knots. After thirty-one years, it retains its original brilliant colors and is a cheerful addition to the tree.

A truly sweet piece. I especially admired the French knots; I know from experience how hard these are to do.
