[RebeccaVelasquez]

The first stocking out of six. Well, hopefully six. I'm hoping to finish them in time to donate to my local library to use as decorations.

 

[RebeccaVelasquez]

renee - that looks great!! how fabulous to donate them to the library!!!

do i see shimmer? the Christmas shimmer yarn is on sale at JoAnn's this week.

 

Is there a gallery page set up for this????

i'm trying to figure out how to do extra pages on my site... when that happens, i'll host it if no one else has already

[Nay65]

rebecca, yup, you see shimmer. I used Caron Victorian Gold. I love that yarn. I have a huge stash of it from when it used to be sold in 1.75 oz balls.

 

I chose the library to donate to because there isn't often a lot of extra money for fun stuff. The kids that come in are so thrilled to see the Christmas trees every year, that I thought they'd get a kick out of these.

 

I'm not sure if there is a gallery for this yet. I don't know how many folks have started working on their stockings yet.

Great job on the stocking, Renee! :cheer2

 

Rebecca, nope, there's no gallery set up for this. We'd love to have one, though! ! :camera

[Tiffany]

I love the stocking, Renee! Great job. :)h

Oh I just picked up some Victorian Lace! It's geourgous. And yes it is on sale. That's why I bought it. and I'm not one to go grabbing things because they are on sale and look good. But on my list I had buy yarn for scarves, any color. So, It is beautiful.

Finsihed mine

[Nay65]

Very pretty, Kari.

 

Stockings 2 and 3 of 10:

The pattern for the red stocking came from a free project sheet I got from the RH holiday yarn display at Walmart. I checked the Coats & Clark website, but couldn't find it there.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

kari - how sweet!! you did a great job!

is that a tiny little crocheted lace on the edge? :yay2

very nice :cheer2

 

renee - lookin good! i love the sparkle in them... the red with green heel and toe is way too cute! :fall

 

 

hopefully, i will get the gallery up for this soon, ladies :fc

At a craft fair this weekend, I saw huge knitted mittens sold instead of stockings. They were very cute. I'm wondering how hard it would be to crochet them. Maybe a treaditional crocheted mitten pattern using two strands, larger hook?

[luvtocraft]

Renee,

Your stockings look wonderful!! I love the victorian lace color, too. I made a poncho and purse/bag out of Victorian lace.

 

Kari,

That stocking is beautiful! I love the pink. :cheer2

[kariholtz]

Thanks Renee and I love yours!

 

And thanks Rebecca, yes that is tiny little crocheted lace- first try. Really I have to admit, that picture does no justice to it whatsoever, it really did turn out darling. I'm making a blue one for the boy grandson, probably without the lace though.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

OHmy goodness! Slady, what a great idea!!!

 

that sounds absolutely precious!!!:)h :cloud9

[Mamakas1]

Hi All! You can count me in also. I started one for my son (9 mos old so he wont be much a critic ! ) and if it turns out ok I will be making one for my stepson & another for my stepdaughter. I'm using the Lily sugarn' cream christmas stocking pattern but with caron wintuk yarn. )

p.s. I also started the Polka Dot stocking got a few squares done then got sidetracked. I was going to make those for myself & hubby.

[Tiffany]

Kari, it's been awhile since I checked in here, but I had to post that I absolutely love your stocking!! :)h What pattern did you use? I have two super girlie girls around my house that would flip over a stocking like that.

 

Renee, yours are looking great too!

 

I need to get started on mine....

[lauravee]

Uh oh, I think I am going to have to join this one. I have never made anything christmasy, so this will be my first. I think I am going to use the baby boy and girl patterns to make victorian stockings for my mom.

 

 

Laura

[kariholtz]

Thanks Tiff!

I made it from: Baby Girl's First Stocking Although when finishing I made the little lace edging instead of what is on the pattern. Oh and I also took out the Tr row of the cuff for a ribbon and justr made it solid sc.

 

It was really fun. There'sone for a boy there too, which is basically the same only blue and without the "girly fancys"

[RebeccaVelasquez]

Stocking CAL

 

okay, there is still much work to be done.... much, but there is a page up now at least.

[Tiffany]

I love the background and banner, Rebecca!

 

Kari, thanks for the link! I printed it out to show to the girls.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

i have to pass credit on to donna for making the banner

like i said, much to be done still.... but it's there - kinda

[Donna]

The page looks great, Rebecca! Thank you, Tiff and Rebecca! But I only made a banner that reflected the button you made, Rebecca. !

[Donna]

Okay, I'm in! ! I wasn't really planning on making a stocking, but when I was at Walmart a couple of days ago, they were unpacking a big shipment of Lion Brand Fun Fur. One of the new free pattern leaflets was a Fun Fur Christmas stocking. Too cute! I wasn't going to succumb, but yesterday I was a Walmart again and some red and white Fun Fur found its way into my cart. :bad I started last night and I'm about a quarter of the way through. :woohoo
