Almost 19 years ago, I knitted a rather hideous Christmas stocking for A. Now that I have some time on my hands, I have finally unraveled all but the top part of the stocking and soon it will be infinitely more acceptable. The white yarn I used in the re-do is stuff I got from an estate sale 30 years ago. The language on the yarn label is certainly from a long ago era: "Their men like to wear their sweaters and so will yours..."
