As fabulous as crocheted stockings would surely be, I've held myself back from starting a pair of these. The hat, well that's a different story.

Knit them in pairs indeed -- torture is best shared. Acutally the hats & sweaters are too bad....but the pants! My God! The pants!

I've had company pretty much solid for the past two weeks, which is all very nice but a little on the tiring side. While I was getting ready for their arrival(s), I finally sorted through some old boxes of patterns that had come from my husband's mother. These particular gems came from early 70's editions of McCalls Needlework and Crafts.
