Stockings ready for Christmas 2008!

[jneuman88]

I decided we needed new Christmas stockings for next year and decided not to wait until then to do it LOL! So I used a free pattern from Lion Brand's website:

Well done! I am thinking about latchhooking a rug for my mum that is christmas themed...but havent gotten any further than thinking lol. Maybe this is the motivation I need!

 

Why wait till next year to try them out? You could always do a practice run!

The stockings look great. I like them much better than the picture on Lion's website. What types of yarn did you use?

[CrochetbyClarissa]

Thanks, everyone! It does feel good to be ahead of the game LOL!

 

Lucy, I used Icelandic Jewels by Yarn Bee (Hobby Lobby's brand) ... they've been on sale several times throughout the year at 99 cents a skein and so I had bought a ton of it. I've made two ripple afghans for my girls and scarves for some of the ladies in my family with it, and still have a lot left! I really like working with it ... it's very soft and a bit bulky so it works up fast.

 

As for the colors, each of us gets our favorite for our stocking, though I might still add some letter beads to spell our names ... depends on if they'd get lost in the eyelash yarn. Oh, that reminds me ... the eyelash yarn I used is Yarn Bee Airy ... I really liked that, too. It's not the wispy, feathery stuff, so a bit easier to work with, and there's a little bit of shimmery thread in there so there's some sparkle which works so well on these. Now I'm trying to find other things to use it on ... I love it!

 

Thanks again, everyone, for your lovely comments! Quite a boost to the ego!
