I've been spoiled working on Stockings Were Hung for the last ten years. The patterns in Donna Cooler's book are outdated and too specific for one person, but at the same time they are general. I'm in my thirties and have six young children. We have no cats or dogs (allergy sufferers). I'm not a fan of teddy bear or cartoon designs. This describes most designs. There are some fun designs like a fisherman Santa (wish my grandpa was still alive), a gardener Santa and a craft design. However, the family and traditional Christmas patterns just aren't as good as those in The Stockings Were Hung. There are a few designs I could use: handmade stockings (perfect for my mom), welcome to my garden (although I have to change the design to remove the cats), days gone (very cute) and it was the night before Christmas (must change design to remove cat and dog). In the end I wanted to save my money and bought more expensive, higher quality custom products.
