Daddy's grandmother's Norwegian stockings

Every year, we hang up these stockings for julenissen to fill up with goodies, usually scratch and win tickets, and little gifts. These stockings were knitted by daddy's grandmother, Nikoline, in Norway. The two outside ones are over 70 years old. Daddy used them for his ski jumping and cross country meets when he was a youngster in Norway. They were originally knitted for his grandfather and used until Oluf was in his 60's.
