That box looks stunning 🤩

[@makingthingswithstring]

Thank you!! I am pretty pleased with it, especially since it was my first time trying something like that!

Hi Kate. I'm so happy you liked the bag. Feel free to iron out the shipping wrinkles. I had to squeeze it in the envelope 😂❤. Your Needs No Paint wip is looking so good. Your socks are beautiful ❤❤. You are so talented.

I will give it a good iron!! I think the creases show up a little more on camera? I hadn't really noticed them!

[@JillPlusBooks]

That box is gorgeous!! Great work on finishing it off so awesomely!! Whoever gets it is going to love it!! :)

[@makingthingswithstring]

Thanks Jill!! You are like my cheerleader - your comments make my day!

[@beubeuhandcrafts984]

Love your FFO! Great idea. The bottle from stitch from pride is beautiful. You are keeping up with your goals, well done. Love the socks, congratulations. I have 3 projects that I am trying to keep up.... and am I doing it until April😊😊😊😊. Take care💖

[@makingthingswithstring]

Thanks for the comment! Good luck on your 3 projects!! Hope you made good progress.

Thanks for sharing your stitchy goodness. You may want to change needle size to get a tighter fabric so they will fit your foot better. I'm surprised that your patterns not show different stitch counts to fit different knitter's feet. Good luck on continuing with Sock madness MAL. 😺

[@makingthingswithstring]

Thanks for the comment! The patterns do include different sizes and directions for knitting with different needle sizes, but for the competition there is always a minimum size you need to knit, so I have just been picking that regardless of whether it would fit me so I meet the requirements and can knit as quickly as possible. I've also considered knitting with smaller needles, but knitting the tighter fabric can be hard on my hands! I am happy to knit some bigger socks that I can give away as gifts. :)

Your finished box is amazing! So creative. Love seeing the progress on No More Paint. I'm planning on starting one of her horse patterns this year. Your knitting is beautiful also. Have fun at Stitch North...can't wait to hear about it.

[@makingthingswithstring]

Thanks for the kind comment! Do you know which Jill Claire horse you want to stitch??

[@Aspen_stitcher]

@@makingthingswithstring I purchased Lakota Sees Blue and Rock Seekers...think since I just started cross stitching, I will start Rock Seekers. I should make it my Leap Year project. 😏

[@makingthingswithstring]

@@Aspen_stitcher They are both beautiful charts! Good idea for the leap year project!

Ok when you said "meatier WIPs" I heard meteor WIPs and spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out if there was some sort of metaphor for them revolving in like a year long orbit that made them count as something more than just an ornament. 😝

[@makingthingswithstring]

🤣 While I was editing I misunderstood MYSELF the same way lol...

[@jensfiberweb]

Also, sock madness mods have to wait for the designer for the round to be available for questions (and for enough mods to be around to support everyone), so that may be why they're holding out until after Easter.

[@makingthingswithstring]

Yes, it definitely makes sense! They all deserve to enjoy the holiday weekend.

[@xstitchinglibrarian]

Yay, you are doing so well with Sock Madness 🎉🥳👍🤸‍♀️❤. How many rounds will there be

[@makingthingswithstring]

There are 7 rounds! I'm sure I won't make it through all those rounds... but once you've qualified you get all the patterns, so that was really all I was hoping for. :)
