[rebeccav]

wow! ladies- that is some serious linkage!!!:bounce :clap

[Julie]

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

[rebeccav]

thanks julie - let's see if that helped

crossing my fingers:
http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v254/rebeccav/crochet/bustocking7.jpg

okay, i give:shrug oh well, i tried:lol

[Julie]

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

[kariholtz]

Great where do I link it to?

[Donna]

How's this, Rebecca?

<img border=0 src="http://img45.photobucket.com/albums/v138/dbelle/crochet/buttons/stocking_CAL.gif" />

[Deb]

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. :p I think it would be fine to link it to this topic, Holiday Stocking Crochet Along (http://p084.ezboard.com/fcrochetvillefrm32.showMessage?topicID=18.topic), to the Crochet-alongs (http://p084.ezboard.com/fcrochetvillefrm32) forum, or to Crochetville (http://p084.ezboard.com/bcrochetville) itself. Really, it's up to Melinda, though. :wink

[rebeccav]

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?:blah
thanks

[enmac]

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 (http://hometown.aol.com/lffunt/bgstocking.html) 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.

[crochetis4fun]

I went back through my old crochet magazines. :eek 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. :wink 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. :p 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.
Joy

[Nay65]

I'm going to make the pattern from Bernat (http://www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=253) with Caron Victorian Gold yarn. (hope it works :p )

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. (http://www.herrschners.com/products/sku-011298__id-552.html)

[Tiffany]

Oh good! Thanks for the link, Renee. :)

[Nay65]

You're welcome, Tiff.

[luvtocraft]

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

Stephanie

My Crochet Blog (http://worldofcrochet.blogspot.com)

[rebeccav]

BONUS!! way to go stephanie!!

[shelbyro]

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!

Stephanie

[rebeccav]

fantastic stephanie! i haven't started mine yet. i did finally decide what yarn i want to use. now i need to determine which 6 (or 10) stockings i want to make.... and then dectide how much yarn i need, then budget it in... oh my... i may have these for next Christmas :cry

[jennmwalsh]

Ooooh...I'm going to join. Don't know when I'll start, but I'm joinin'!!:rollin

[Nay65]

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

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/Nay65/finished%20projects/xmasstocking.jpg

[rebeccav]

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.

[Donna]

Great job on the stocking, Renee! :cheer2

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

[Tiffany]

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

[Ambersafghans]

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, :D It is beautiful.
Amber

[Nay65]

Thanx, ladies.

[kariholtz]

Finsihed mine

[Nay65]

Very pretty, Kari.

Stockings 2 and 3 of 10:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/Nay65/finished%20projects/sox2-3.jpg
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.

[rebeccav]

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

[SamplerLady]

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? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v478/SamplerLady/mmouseplus.gif

[luvtocraft]

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

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.

[rebeccav]

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

that sounds absolutely precious!!!:)h :heart :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 :D! ) 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. :))

Ammie

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.... :knit

[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 (http://www.hometown.aol.com/lffunt/bgstocking.html) 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"

[rebeccav]

Stocking CAL (http://www.ewedevil.com/stocking.htm)

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

[Tiffany]

I love the background and banner, Rebecca! :)

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

[rebeccav]

i have to pass credit on to donna for making the banner :clap
like i said, much to be done still.... but it's there - kinda :blush

[Donna]

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

[Donna]

Okay, I'm in! :D! 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! :rock 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

[julierugur]

Hi! This is my first ever post on here, I hope I'm doing it right. I would like to join your crochet along. Thanks!

[rebeccav]

hello julie:hi welcome to the stocking CAL!

i will add you to the list (http://www.ewedevil.com/stocking.htm) - please send pictures!!:camera

[RitziMitzi]

Ok this is the LAST thing I'm taking on now....quit making cute buttons! I found a little leaflet from RH called Holly Stocking and I have some Caron Christmas glittery yarn leftover from last year to use up....will make at least one!

[DawnsRays]

You all have convinced me with your beautiful work to join this CAL. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/yay.gif" /> I was resisting, then I saw the cute button, still not gonna do it. Then some of you started posting pics and I was holding fast. Then, my own curiosity did me in. I started surfing the web for patterns (just to see what was out there<img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/photos.gif" /> and I found the cutiest little stocking. Dang It! So I'm in.
~DAWN

[vhanna26]

Count me in. I made a bunch of stockings for family last year, but kept none for me:( , so I'll make a couple to keep this time around.

[JPorter718]

I'm in too!
Never made anything like a stocking before but why not try!?!
I may run to the yarn store to find some christmas yarn... (see, any excuse to buy more yarn!) :danc

Oh ya, and I want that cute lil button! :yay2

[adultramblings]

Count me in! I've actually never made a stocking, but have been dying to.

[rebeccav]

YAY!!! i'll be adding you all the the list (http://www.ewedevil.com/stocking.htm) soon (hopefully tonight!)

[Mamakas1]

I have a really quick question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm working on the Lily sugar 'n cream christmas stocking & I'm stuck! :<> I've done up to the toe area. The pattern says

Toe: Next row: 1 sc in each sc to end of row. ch1 turn
Next row: sc2tog over next 2 sts. 1 sc in each of next 13 sc sc2tog over last 2 sts. 15 sts. ch1 turn
Next row: *sc2tog over next 2 sts. 1 sc in each sc across to last 2 sts. sc2tog over last 2 sts. ch1 turn
Rep from * until 3 sts remain, omitting ch1 in last row. fasten off.

I have done that part...the next part is where I am stuck

With WS of work facing join A with SS in next sc of last long row. ch1 1 sc in same sc 1 sc in each sc to last 2 sc sc2tog over next 2 sts.

My question is WHERE do join A? Which is the last long row. I feel awfully stupid asking this :bang I have 2 stockings waiting for me to finish it off!

TIA Ammie

[vhanna26]

It looks like you should have completed one side of the toe, and now, you'll start the othe side, and you'll sew everything up once the sock is done.

Turn the stocking so that you are opposite the first half of the toe, and join the yarn with a slip stich into the first stitch of the last row you worked on the foot (ot you may have worked one row in which you went completly around.

I'm guessing you'll probably start with a decrease, a number of stitches, and another decrease at the end of the row then turn. You should mirror what you did for the first part of the toe.

Whew, I hope that helps. It really isn't as bad as it looks.

[Mamakas1]

Thanks Vera! I'll have to try tonight. What looks odd to me is that the first part of the toe is on top. Where I think somewhere along the line I screwed up & it should be on the side...if that makes an sense. :thinking2 Plus the first side of the toe is a triangle. Which is also confusing me. Argh! I figured everything else out why not this part. Thanks again for your help Vera!:)h
Ammie

[vhanna26]

The two parts of the toe are triangles, and the should mirror each other in number of rows and stiches.

You're right, it should be on the the side, though.

I'm almost finished with a stocking, I'll take a photo before sewing it up to show you.

[vhanna26]

My first stocking is all done :bow .

http://vhanna26.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/holidaystocking1.jpg

I got the pattern from a Red Heart leaflet a couple of years ago. I think the Caron's Christmas Glitter, and the Lion Brand Fun Fur give it some punch.

[kariholtz]

I love that stocking!

[jennmwalsh]

That's a great stocking! Very cute.

[Mamakas1]

Thank you so much Vera! :cheer2 Thats what I though that the toes should be on the side. Well off to frog the toe. lol Your stocking is so nice. I love it!
Ammie

[DawnsRays]

Don't let the title fool you....they are small. I will make about 20 of these for my sons 3rd grade class for Christmas. I got the pattern from Crochet Central and it is so quick and cute.
<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v404/DawnsRays/stockingcal.jpg" target="_new">tiny stocking</a>
I'll be sure and post a pic when I get them all completed. <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/hi.gif" />

[julierugur]

Hi! I just finished the Quick n' Easy stocking (the second-to-last link on julie5876's comment) http://hometown.aol.com/lffunt/stocking.htm
The green yarn is some chunky kind by Lion Brand and the red is even chunkier and by Red Heart. Sorry, I don't remember what type though. The pattern was perfect. I only changed the finishing. I sewed the two sides together by single crocheting with the green, and then single crocheted around the top with the red and then chaining 10 for the loop. I'm going to make my husband a red one with green trim. This pattern only took an hour and a half. How fun! I'm glad you put together this CAL!
<img src="http://www.queenlimegreen.com/images/xmas 001.jpg" />

[rebeccav]

these are looking SOO good! i'm going to tell hubby he MUST get the gallery up tonight!!:danc

[vhanna26]

Twenty stockings!!!

That did give me a start when I read the title. Good that they are small.

[vhanna26]

:ty

I'm glad you guys like the stocking. I plan to make another, but not sure what I want to do just yet. Maybe a "candy cane" one.

Ammie, I have the pictures of the toe I can send you if you still need it.

[Mamakas1]

Yes Vera! I would love to have the pictures. Thank you! :hug I didn't get a chance to work on the stocking yet. But yes I will take all the help I can get! :))

Thanks again Ammie

[Mamakas1]

Ok I feel like such a blockhead! :bang I finally figured out my problem with the toe on the stocking. I was adding the stitch count as actual stitches. DUH! I'm such a :donkey
Thanks so much Vera for helping me out!
Ammie

[lisaekh]

I'm new to Crochetville and I'd love to join this crochet-along! I hope this isn't cheating, but I have a stocking I started 2 years ago that I'd like to finish. It is a granny square stocking, and it is also the reason I got into crocheting. My grandmother made one of these stockings for each of us grandkids, but she wasn't able to crochet any more by the time my brother was born. So I wanted to make him one to carry on the tradition.

I'm looking forward to the crochet-along!

Lisa

[rebeccav]

what a great idea!! i'll be adding you to the list soon.
and in no way is that cheating - to finish something started - you're an inspiration to us all :bow

[Nay65]

Stockings 4 thru 6 of 10

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/Nay65/finished%20projects/sox4-5.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/Nay65/finished%20projects/sock6.jpg

Same patterns as before except for the Bernat stockings (white ones) I decided to fold down the cuffs instead of the way shown in the pattern.

[jennmwalsh]

I like those! I've been thinking about making stockings, and using sparkly dark green and maroon yarn, the cuff just makes it perfect, I think!

[RitziMitzi]

Here's my first one! Not that I have another one started....

<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/wickedstitch/stocking.jpg" />

I used the free leaflet from Coats and Clark called "Holly Stocking". I think it looks more like a ski boot!

Oh well - the leaves and berries were fun!

<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/pinkribbon.gif" /><a href="http://www.wickedstitch.blogspot.com" target="_new">Mitzi</a>

WooHoo!! My first stocking :cheer2 I have 2 others that I have to take a photo of. And 2 more to make

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Mamakas1/480x360_25ACFCB9.jpg

Ammie

Sorry had to resize the picture :blush

[jennmwalsh]

Wow! I love the Holly stocking, and this last one posted is great too! I have to buy yarn for this, and FIND TIME for it...lol

[lisaekh]

I was at Wal-mart yesterday to buy something and stopped to look for yarn to start a new stocking for my youngest niece. They had absolutely NO Christmas yarn. I was very disappointed. I guess I will have to try the craft stores. I just don't know what is up with Wal-mart these days.

Lisa

[rebeccav]

UGH! i promise ya'll i am working on making that page. i really jacked it up this morning and have to wait on hubby - i encrypted something :eek2 anyhow, so now it's locked me out. hopefully it will be up tonight :fc

Grandson's Stocking
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/shadydowns/CROCHET%20PROJECTS/0aa0550a.jpg


It was: Priscilla's Quick 'n Easy Christmas Stocking. (http://members.aol.com/lffunt/stocking.htm)
I made it using two strands of Red Heart SuperSaver Color 0384 Royal and my N hook.

[Tiffany]

Kari,

I love your stocking! Isn't that pattern quick? I'm making one right now out of chenille and was suprised that they really do work up fast, although I did have to frog my first one because I misread the directions and put the foot at the top. It was a z. :blush

[kariholtz]

It's a great pattern It took me about 4 or 5 hours of working but not straight work, that was starting and stopping to do housework or corral the boy etc.
I was tickled at how fast it went even using two strands.
I still have some of that grey chenille:brrr .... I am thinking hubby needs one, just have to find the time to squeeze it in somewhere lol:help :faint

[luvtocraft]

I finally finished some stockings.

CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!:hsanta

[luvtocraft]

Thanks Mitzi! :wangel

[luvtocraft]

Thanks Rebecca! :wangel

They are 6 1/2 inches.

[Mamakas1]

Oh! They are adorable. I was looking for small stockings to make my nephews. What pattern did you use? Great job! :sman
Ammie

[luvtocraft]

It is a pattern I made up. I am still deciding whether to post it on my site or not. :thinking2

[Tiffany]

I finished one stocking, using the same Quick & Easy Stocking pattern as Kari. I used LB Thick & Quick Chenille and will probably add a brim in cream. I'm going to take a better picture tomorrow without the holiday tablecloth as a background. :hsanta

[Julie]

The page looks great!! I wish I had joined but I'm barely getting done what I have on my plate now. :help We need to do this again next year too! :thumbsup

[rebeccav]

mine is continuing after Christmas for next year. i'm going to keep the page up and the thread going as long as no one opposes and others add to it.

[kariholtz]

I don't oppose it, I plan on making more stockings next year for next Christmas (for the ones I didn't have time to make this year). I think it's a good idea to keep it open.

I finally found a pattern I like and I'm gonna make some for my family for next year using jewelbox and funfur.

I've finished my stockings. I don't have photos of the last four because I wanted to get them to the library. The staff is having their Christmas party on Friday, so I'll try to get a picture of all of them hanging up.

I'm a new member, only joined this week. I would love to participate in something like this for next Christmas. My son, who has a wonderful stocking that was knit by his Grandma, is getting married in February. I'd love to make a comparably sized stocking for his wife-to-be for next Christmas.

I made a stocking too but I cant post it just yet - until the recipient receives her package. Then I will post the picture :D However, I realized today that I totally forgot to add the little part to hang the stocking with! So, recipient, you'll have to add that little extra bit to your stocking :blush

[Julie]

That's a great idea Elaine! :))

[rebeccav]

that is wonderful of you, elaine:)h

[MommaChelle]

Ok, here it is, my first stocking:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/luv2crochet/crochet/tiffstocking.jpg

It is the stocking pattern on the lionbrand website. I am also making another stocking for my mom from a different pattern. Will post that picture when finished too :))

[CrochetCatskills]

It's getting awful close to Christmas and I have noticed all the posts are from '04.
Is this CAL still open or am I missing something? :think
I would love to work along with you all, please advise.

[Celestial Seasonings]

Ooh! Definitely making the little girl stocking for my new baby neice! Thanks for the links, ladies!:hug

[CrochetCatskills]

That's great to hear.... I have already started the easy one but making a few changes..... I would rather have the toes & heels green with the body of it in red & white like a candy cane.... I'm winging it here, lol

It was hard to take a good picture of this. The stocking is ribbed; but it doesn't show in the picture. The pattern is from an old book, "Chrismas Crochet" by American Needlework. The yarn is white cotton yarn and Red Heart Holiday Craft yarn in victorian.

Happy Holidays!

Tracy your stocking is very good.

I actually made these last year, but this year we are spending the holidays with my parents so each stocking has a pressie in and they will be opened either Xmas night or Boxing Day.:manyheart

I absolutely love the Polka Dot stocking wolfs1love linked. This will be my husband's and my first Christmas since we got married, and what a great way to celebrate it than with handmade stockings. Now, where do I find the time to finish two while finishing presents for everyone else!??
