“Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, Sauté it, whatever. MAKE.” ~ Joss Whedon

The Monthly Create, Make and Share Thread is a monthly gathering of people that love to create and make. From yarn (crochet, knitting), fabric (sewing, quilting), threads (embroidery, weaving), wood crafts, ceramics, artwork and anything else you create and would like to share, this is the place to do it. Sharing something you’ve created and/or made is pure joy...and we need joy in our lives!

From complete Newbies that are looking to start that first project, to experienced artists, we would love to hear from you. If you have questions or would like advice, there’s probably someone on the thread who would be able to help.

It is impossible to hijack the Monthly Create, Make and Share Thread. Knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, weaving, general crafting, art, wood working, patterns, articles on any of these topics, or even your own writing. There is no telling where it will go, and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us! Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you’d like to be added to our Ping List.

NOTE: This is a once a Month Ping List. We DO post to the thread during the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to other Create, Make and Share fans are welcomed any time.

Got the heel in - worked beautifully & did not need extra red rows.

Now I am rethinking the cuff. The one on the pattern is just sc, folded over - doesn’t do the beautiful plaid justice, IMO. The stocking with the heel pattern I used has a ribbed cuff which would do nicely. I also have another idea for a ribbed cuff using hdc that I will probably try on a test swatch - it will either be really pretty or a miserable fail. The ribbed cuff is my fallback option. Whatever cuff design I use will go on the 2nd stocking too.

My 'Gunga Din' stocking LOL!

The foot looks out of proportion to the top, but that's just the angle at which I had to take the pic to keep my feet out of the frame.

I really love how this turned out. It's a combo of 2 patterns & although I used the technique from another pattern for crocheting the cuff on the stocking, I came up with the crochet stitch pattern - looks like knitted ribbing.

I am now in 'bobble hell', working on the 2nd stocking, which is going to be super cute if I can get it figured out. The heel & cuff will be the same design as the plaid stocking, so that's 2 things I don't have to figure out from scratch.

The 2nd stocking is done! I call it the 'Holly Berry' Bobble stocking. I will have to take better pictures of them hanging.

They are so nice! And unique. I had to go looking for this thread. Wanted to post an easy lamp idea. Made this many years ago. I used to change out what was in the jar. Either fake flowers for spring, fake fall leaves in the fall. I even made one with the promotional minions from a fast food joint. Full of them. But it's been seashells fir many years now. Used a half gallon canning jar. Drilled a hole in the lid for the lamp hardware. Found everything I needed at Menards. 0-02-01-dd7bc36d1b7f867e8e6bcba2ef96c24f9766e274aba88153afec53e8c0187b52-743734f88ead95d5 I also made a couple of bedside lamps using pint jars.

Thanks. Me too. If I had a dedicated crafts room I would do one with thread spools.
