[Julie]

Try saving it as a .gif, then posting it. Sometimes that helps. :bigsmile

[RebeccaVelasquez]

thanks julie - let's see if that helped

 

crossing my fingers:

[Julie]

hmmm... I don't know the answer then.. I'm sorry! It's a cute button!!

[kariholtz]

[Donna]

How's this, Rebecca?

Oh NOOOOO! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/ohdear.gif" />

 

That button is so cute... I may just join this CAL so I can snag and display it! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/veryhappy.gif" />

 

Good job everyone!

[Tiffany]

I MUST have that button! Now, which stocking am I going to make?? I guess since my ultimate goal is to make 12, I can choose 12 patterns.

[kariholtz]

OK Let me rephrase the question: Where should the button (which is great) link to? Another page or to this page?

[Donna]

I was waiting for someone else to answer, since this is not my CAL. I think it would be fine to link it to this topic, Holiday Stocking Crochet Along, to the Crochet-alongs forum, or to Crochetville itself. Really, it's up to Melinda, though.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

what type of yarn is everyone planning on using? my Christmas decor is very traditional... balls on the tree with old toys for decoration.... make sense? anyhow, i was thinking of using a cotton, looked at the lion brand kitchen cottons this weekend..... how bizarre is that, but there is not a "Christmas" green...... seemed to have a touch of blue to it. anyone have ideas of where i should go to find something?--point me in the right direction for a brand???

 

man, i ramble, don't i?

thanks

I have a kit leftover from last Christmas sales for making a stocking using red and white feathers. This may be the motivation I need to start it! The kit came with a knitting pattern but I'd much rather crochet it. So I'll have to find a very simple pattern, or I may just wing it (since it doesn't have to actually fit anyone <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" />

[Tiffany]

I know that I'll be using the more traditional colors - red, white and green. I saw Caron's Christmas colors at Joann's the other day and they're more burgundy and forest green colors.

[kariholtz]

I'm making the Baby Girls First Christmas Stocking first off since we have a grand-daughter who is having a first Christmas. It'll of course be in pink lol

 

After that I have some greens and reds I have wanting to put to good use. I think they are leftover Christmas yarns, they were in one of my ebay autions I won.

I went back through my old crochet magazines. I found that I had them stashed in more places than yarn. Well anyway I found 5 stockings that I really like, and can't figure out which one to do...so I had this idea maybe one for each of my siblings and their families and fill it with goodies for a Christmas present. You wouldn't believe the bookmarks I found in my search for stockings. I did do a few rows on my sock this morning. But those silly bookmarks kept calling and I'm almost done with one. I told myself no more projects till that sock is done. And I'm so excited to start a stocking that tomorrow I WILL finish my sock so that I can start my stocking. The first one has burgundy and forest green with bells on it. Well guess I've blabbed enough. Thanks for listening.

I'm going to make the pattern from Bernat with Caron Victorian Gold yarn. (hope it works )

 

Tiff, Caron does have traditional Christmas yarn. It's the basic red & green with silver metallic woven in. I haven't seen it in stores, but you could get it here.

[Tiffany]

Oh good! Thanks for the link, Renee.

[Nay65]

You're welcome, Tiff.

Count me in!!

[Stephanie]

Count me in to. I'm going to make the tractor stocking for my Sis and BIL (they actually have one of these). Better yet, I even have ALL the yarn!:yay2

BONUS!! way to go stephanie!!

I made that tractor stocking last year for my nephew in Ohio--it was a HUGE hit! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/thumbsup.gif" />

[Stephanie]

Well, it's been awhile and I thought I would update you with my progress! I am nearly done with side two of my tractor stocking. I expect to finish and put it together this weekend. Then I can start on the embellishments!:yay2

 

It's going along well, no problems. Got to check out lots of John Deere tractors yesterday at the State Fair for additional inspiration. (I would have preferred to check out the cowboys at the Rodeo, but the rodeo was cancelled minutes before start due to power out, darn it).

 

I will be able to post a finish photo even without the digital camer, but in the meantime, my stocking parts are too big to scan, alas!
