Little Miss Four crafted this one. She needed help to thread the needle and tie knots... but handled the remainder of the task by herself. She hasn't done any type of sewing before, and I was really impressed with how quickly she picked it up and developed a rhythm.
Master Six worked on this piece. He also needed assistance with threading and knotting, but had quite good control over the needle... working the stitches successfully into the shapes he was after.
The final one was crafted by Master Nine. Entirely by himself. No help needed with threading, knotting, or separating strands. He has decorated both sides of the stocking, and then went ahead and made some pipe cleaner candy canes to put inside.

Happy Turkey Day!
Oh, they're so cute!
They look great! I love the stars.
They look great.
I know what you mean about finding it hard not to join in and take over. But it can have its advantages. My Mr 8 wanted to learn to crochet and he got the hang of a single chain but found the pushing the hook through and making stitches quite hard (having to hold the piece, manipulate the material and the wool was hard for him). So while he was at school I was allowed to do "bits". This made the whole project grow nice and quickly and boredom didn't set in before the hat was finished. He is now the proud owner of a crocheted, stripey hat that he 2made himself".
Love to see the talent being passed down, I agree with how hard it is not to help, though. I have bourght my daughter a Beados set for her b'day week and it will KILL me not to instruct!
oh2122 - thanks... you too!
misha - yes... they've done a brilliant job :)
sam - the stars are leftovers from my scrap booking days
