My nephew John just sent me this photo... Apparently I made him this stocking!  I really don't remember it, but it does look like something I'd make :)  I know what yarn I used, too -- Cleckheaton Country 8-ply, my favorite yarn.  I had about 12 skeins in each of those colors, once upon a time, so I know that's what I used.  I knit a basic sock with a proportionally small heel, and probably got the fair isle designs from a great book I have, "The Complete Book of Traditional Fair Isle Knitting", by Sheila McGregor, which has hundreds of charted repeating designs which you can use on any fair isle-type project.
_This_ looks like a reprint of the book I have.  Anyway, it's a nice stocking, isn't it?
