A stocking for everyone
The book has a nice variety of patterns for adults; there's only one pattern for a children's stocking, but it's adorable. The patterns are clearly written and well-illustrated. They're not written for a specific yarn, and the way they supply gauge information makes it easy to match the yarn of your choice to patterns; I found the yarn requirements to be very accurate.
If you find yourself wanting to knit different stockings to match the personalities of the people in your life, I recommend investing in this book, since it has something for everyone. The patterns range in difficulty from easy to quite challenging; I wouldn't recommend any of them to beginners, but anybody with a little knitting experience under their belt should be able to follow all of them. (I'm not a sock knitter and had never done intarsia before knitting the Diamonds in the Rough Argyle Stocking, but with careful attention to the instructions, had no problem.)
Excellent for all Knitters
This book is well done and the layout is perfect for knitters of all abilities. I loved all the different pattern styles - you are sure to find that special stocking for that someone special in your life.

I like it! I'm knitting one of the stockings and plan to do more. I have also purchased a copy for a gift to my cousin...also a knitter!
