How about a “I am finished Woohooo!!” post-January

Announcements, January Kit Questions | February 04, 2008

that everyone follows suit and comments to when they are done. Kind of like the, “It is here” one. So it singles out who finished first ( kudos to them) and gives us a chance to chat a little easier about our accomplishments… .I am going to make killerhamster’s post sticky ( she is the first one I saw) and we can all comment there when we are done. It is right below this post. I hope this works for everyone.I cannot believe that some are done already. Seems like they just went out.I am impatiently waiting for most to get their’s so I can post production shots.Hey, guess what I am doing this week??New colorways!! yeah, my head is so very full, I have to get them out on yarn or it is going to explode.–look for a contest soon!knit on!

Foot Measurement Help

General Knitting Questions | February 04, 2008
By Ann Foultz

OK — I have a confession to make.  I know this is silly of me to get to be as old as I am and not really know what the “ball” of my foot is.  Is this the part right under my toes that is usually the widest part of my foot?  And that is where I should measure for my foot circumference?  I did notice in with the charts & other info they sent us they have some hints for measuring the length & width of my foot, does anyone else have anything helpful to say?  I have knit 4 or 5 pairs of socks now, but have never felt confident about knowing how to measure my foot.  Thanks.

I wanna see your knitting blogs!

Notorious Sock Knitters | February 04, 2008

But most everyone still has their profile set to link to the Rockin Sock Club and not their blogs.  How about linking up girls?  I love the Rockin Sock Club, but I would rather link through your name to your knitting blogs!  I already know how to get back here  ;)

Congrats to all the knitters who are done!  Those of us (me) that have yet to start are inspired, I know I am!

Interesting Problem

General Knitting Questions, Notorious Sock Knitters | February 04, 2008
By Nadine Blair

I got the first sock about 3/4 completed in size small and decided that I wanted it longer and a bit bigger so I decided to make a medium.  Here is the problem.  In the small the pattern striped beautifully but in the medium it wants to pool.  Same needles, same knitter so same tension.   Any ideas?
