Bound and Determined!

Here's tonight's photos of some sections of my BHG stocking. There's also one of the entire stocking. It's coming along, with mainly just backstitching left. I'm bound and determined to finish it in time for finishing by Christmas.

My original plan was to stitch up four of these BHG stockings with one for DH, our 2 children, and me. I have one done, and this one is close to being done. At this point I may change my plan and stitch up two more that aren't so time consuming. I started this one almost THREE YEARS ago, and at this rate I won't have two more done for six more years. Does anyone have any suggestions for a different stocking pattern or two? I'd rather dislike giving up on my goal of stitching four of these, but I just don't know if I can do it! Have you ever been in this sort of stitching quandry? Decisions, decisions...
