Krissy's SAL~ Santa's Buddies stocking

Post by Krissy »

Instead of looking for my thread everytime I'll just keep adding to this one.

Here is my most current WIP. It's the Santa's Buddies stocking I am doing for my hubby. It was the only stocking I bought that was facing the opposite way of the others, so I mirrored the pattern. Santa's left handed but my stockings are all going to face the same way so I'm fine with that. lol

Here's what it's going to look like, sorry it's so small, it's the only one online I could find.

Here's where I am on it.

The date on the picture is wrong. My camera is being fixed so I had to use my old crappy camera and I haven't set the date on it. lol

This is going to look great, and I quite agree you can't have one rebel stocking facing the wrong way :-)

:applesauce: :applesauce: Smart thinking with reversing it so that all of your stockings will face the same way. I didn't even think about that when I did ours (granted, it was over a 6-7 year period). I have 2 that face one way and the other 2 the other way.

Thanks for the comments!! Nope, can't have a rebel stocking here. lol. I worked on this quite a bit yesterday. I am hoping to have it done before Christmas since things have finally settled back down and my evenings have pretty much cleared up here recently. My hubby and the guys in the club decided they are building a R/C track in my yard. So he's been spending the evenings out working on that and since they have that going we'll be spending the next several weekends at home. Which give me ALOT more time to stitch. I've been tempted to take my WIPs with me to the races but with red clay tracks there's a ton of it floating around in the air, so I thought better of that.

I've wanted to do a stocking for my fiance for a while now, but seeing as I have a lot of projects going on right now, I won't be able to get one done for him until next Christmas, which will be our second Christmas together. :)

Yours looks lovely, and I'm so excited to see your progress on it! Very clever idea about reversing it! :)

It's lovely Krissy! And a great idea to mirror it so it fits in with the others :)

I think reversing the pattern was genius!!! Great start on it too
And I don't mind a rebel stocking, but only if it's mine :wink:

If you want this when I am done with it I can send it to you. The pattern is for a square design that you can make into something else or frame if you wanted to. It has the stocking outlined in red.

Thanks for the comments, I've got one side of the vest done, one arm and working on the other side and the shirt. There's alot of color changing but it's actually not as much of a pain as the last stocking I did was. Majority of it is full stitches (which I love). I plan on working on it alot today.
