Hi Carla & Finnegan, thank you for teaching. I have not crocheted anything but an afghan pattern & scarfs. But, my hope is to learn to make ruffled socks for women. So, I am learning from you. I hope. Cynthia

Thank you for sharing this wonderful, holistic video. I love that you incorporate your spirituality. I really like the look of this yarn, but find it really difficult to work with! Can't wait to find out about ethically sourced sustainable choices!

My aunt made stockings like this for all the kids in the family. She passed a long time ago but I have watched your videos to make them for my grandkids and nieces and nephews. Eventually I'll get one for everyone. Thanks for your videos and instructions so I can keep the tradition going!

Me desilusiona porque no siguió con el paso a paso ☹️☹️☹️ Yo la estaba esperando porque con ella me guió

Another lovely video! Great work!

I'm about to start a lighted stocking. I plan to use a crafter blade (picture frame mat blade) and cutting board to get an easy, precise cut. My question is how to line stocking with battery box/on off switch accessible! Make a felt pocket on back of stocking? Don't want box to cause stocking to hang wrong because of weight. May be best to just leave it out and free, place on mantle? Open to suggestions!! Thank you!! EDIT: I spoke too soon..SMART placement of pocket!! Thank you!!

Great content

I love watching your videos and I say the longer the better. I don't need the top tips and information now but I find your videos so relaxing. I really like your company whilst I sew. I've watched one of the videos where you start one of the kits many times. You mention getting your scissors sharpened at Joanne's and your big tubs for beads are years old that you can't remember where you got them from. Even though I know you'll say this, I still like to watch whilst I sew. I especially like videos where your cat visits or you talk about your family or your faith.

Love your videos. I’d say the longer the better, step by step would be super helpful to many. If I could make a suggestion, please iron your felt before starting. The creases will never come out, and the finished stocking will look so much better without them.

I enjoy watching every step. I pick up new little tricks each time. I have several kits, but I haven’t done them yet. I find it very relaxing to watch you stitching and chatting away. But I can understand too if the camera gets in your way if you don’t want to film it all. Thanks for sharing!

Cotton and acrylic is kinder if you love animals. Premium acrylic is better.

thank you so much for this video <3

Pilling is very common with acrylic yarns, & most of the anti-pillers need to be laid flat & air dried. I'm currently using Lion Brand Basic Stich anti-pilling yarn to crochet a baby blanket, & it can be dryer dried, which is unusual. I hope it lives up to its expectations. Caron Simply Soft is a pretty looking yarn, but it is a hugh piller after washing. I am gravitating towards using only cotton yarn for baby blankets because it is natural. Yarn is a broad topic but just like anything else you get what you pay for. Cotton is a win, espec

I learned so much from this video, thank you very much! I love that you included information about the products for consumer awareness (ingredients used in the process and where they come from), as well as how a finished project will react to the environment and how to properly care for a garment made with each different type of yarn. I highly enjoyed this video 😊

So cute

I am curious if you could pre wash cotton before you use it so I will prevent the bleeding from being washed?

Spent more time on thread than what I needed to know

Just wanted to let you know that I've been watching your vids to teach me how to do my first Bucilla stocking as a gift to my loved one! Thank you for doing this

I’m not a huge fan of acrylic yarn but I do use it sometimes. I love natural fibers more. I especially love merino wool. Cotton would be my preferred choice over acrylic.

Very helpful video. Thank you.

Tanks so much im gonna by my yarn tmr so i can start chroshetting tmr i already got my pens

I also love the sequins and beads. Thank you for this clarifying and refreshing tutorial!

in the beginning of your video I saw something with your threads on it. what was that? It looked helpful to keep my threads organized.

Thanks!

Im going to have to try tge thread conditioner. I feel like im always battling knots. Thanks for the information.

I would add that cotton is best for summer projects, because it doesn’t keep warm. Animal fibres are best for winter clothing, meanwhile plant based fibres - like cotton - are best for summer clothing.

I stitch the pipe cleaner to the fabric with tacking stitches. That holds it while I stitch.

I’m brand new to this hobby and this was such a helpful video, thank you!!

Take a piece of tracing paper and draw the nose and the lines on it. Then do the split stitch. Then, place the tracing paper over the split stitch. Your lines are there. Stitch the lines and remove the tracing paper

Beautiful ornaments

This is gorgeous!

Thank you. It looks so relaxing

I really recommend ironing out the creases in the felt prior to adding the beads and sequins. Don't put a hot iron directly on the felt, use a piece of fabric to protect it otherwise it might melt.

Hello ma’am for flower bouquets which yarn is more preferred??

I want to make crochet hand bag as a beginner.which one i choose -cotton or acrylic?

I love watching your Bucilla videos!

I have a cockatiel named, Presley who likes to grab my needle when I am cross stitching. He loves sparkly things! I always have to give him something else to play with to keep him occupied. Thanks so much for this tutorial. I am working on my first felt ornament. It is a Thanksgiving panda by Merry Stockings. It is just too cute and hope it is just as cute when I am finished.

your video audio cuts out from 9-12 minutes... not sure if you knew

Okay,, I love when you say "Whatever you do is yours and is perfect"..I need to remember that 😀

I love your video! I am desperate to find those little bead containers in your video! Do you know where I can find them or what they are called?

I made these up right away, they are so cute! Regular embroidery scissors kill my fingers for anything besides snipping threads so I use the spring loaded Fiskars.

Thanks for the great teaching

Beautiful ❤

A somewhat helpful video but you missed out on a lot of important points and you spent too much time on showing us cutting and sewing front to back which. You left out the most important part of sewing the lining. And not many have a serger. I have 4+ sewing machines not one is a serger. Did I miss the part of inserting the lining and tab? Also it would of been helpful to talk about fabric design. Some fabric have an up and down. I once sewed a lining upside down. Also a shorter video is helpful. If videos are too long I will skip them. PS The cat is a distraction.

It IS beautiful

Thanks so much for the great tutorial I’ve learned so much from you!,

Can I knit with moya cotton yarn for baby?

I am very familiar with all 3 design kits that was in this video. As I have been making kits since the 1990 (more than 250 kits). I have several problems with your video. 1st of all Merry Stocking sells Bucilla kits and now they also make their kits. 2nd when you were Design Felt kit your voice matched the kit. But when you were reviewing Merry Stocking Kit and Bucilla kit the video kept bouncing back from one kit to the other. It was very confusing. 3rd The materials in a Merry Stocking kits are of excellent quality. As well as Bucilla. 4th As for ease or difficulty it depends on the kit itself, not the Brand.

Thank you so much, Carla. After watching several videos, you’re the first one that I could actually understand with.

This has been so helpful as I’m making this stocking. You do such beautiful work
