  1. Giggle. Novelty crochet Christmas stockings, my fave. I think they would go very well with the centerpiece of Mr. and Mrs. Santa in an adult situation.
    Keith’s … uh … coverall onesies? Siamese stockings? … are a little unsettling for some reason.

  2. I agree–the stockings/longjohns? are much weirder than the corset thing–although both of them are pretty peculiar. LOL

  4. Hey! Watch out you guys. My grandmother had those hanging up for her and my grandfather every year when I was growing up. They though they were hilarious.

  5. This one’s very, very disturbing. Cute and fun in concept, but very unsettling in execution.

  6. I love these stockings, they were very popular gifts for couples back when I *had* the pattern. After a few moves, many of my patterns grew legs and jumped out of the moving boxes…and this was one set. At least now I know what issue I am looking for. Anyone out there have a copy to spare or a copy of the patterns???
