Last year, December 17 to be exact, I posted a picture of my family’s Christmas stockings. They are a Grace Ennis design and have been a part of our holiday tradition for as long as I can remember.

I have a very talented cousin. You name it, she can do it and she can do it well. Such talent she has! She is a very clever girl. However, she claims she cannot knit. She says she is a spaz. She claims that she tried to learn once and just could not get the hang of it.

This, of course, is crap.

The point of all this – she wanted a pumkin hat for her son. You remember those, don’t you? I knitted a bushel of fruit caps during the summer. This cousin refused to learn how to make one herself. In exchange for my knitting the cap, she agreed to graph out some more designs for our Christmas stockings.

I had completely forgotten about our bargain. Because she is honorable, as well as talented, these arrived in my mailbox the other day.

Now, someone needs to get pregnant.    not me!

And because honor runs in our family …. in yesterday’s comments Sharon asked for it and here it is!
