Heel Shape
January '08 Kit Questions | February 08, 2008
I finished the heel and it looks very very triangular to me. I’ve never knitted a pair that looks so triangular so I am wondering if I did something wrong. Is this the shape everyone else is getting? (I am at the point where you are about to start the foot. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

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!
All done! January

The socks are finished and I’ll have pics up on Ravelry on Sunday. This pattern really caught my imagination, which is why they were finished as quickly as they were. I made the largest size and had 10 grams of yarn left over. I’m looking forward to the March shipment. Can it please be March now?
Dye on my fingers
January '08 Kit Questions | February 02, 2008
Anyone else notice a red line on their fingers from the dye? I have a little red line on my left index finger where I wrap the yarn around. Also another stripe on my pinkie. I knitted a lot yesterday, but my hands were dry and clean.  This is my first year in the club and my first experience with STR yarn. I’m loving the yarn and the pattern, but I’m concerned that the colors might bleed? Anyone else experiencing this?
Next sock yarn
January '08 Kit Questions | February 01, 2008
No, in no way have I finished my first pair but… I am finished with the heel and wanted to remind you all to hold the yarn with some extra tension on the w&t. Knit side good for me but I let the purl side slide a little. I will try to smooth out the laxity later or maybe just leave for an “design element”. I looks like a special lace effect. Anyway…since I am new to RSC, I was wondering where do I find out the information about the administrative part of the club.
Happily knitting away in Oakdale

HEEL HELP PLEASE!!
General Knitting Questions, January '08 Kit Questions | February 01, 2008
i knit with 2 circular needles and have knit many pairs but i am stumped on this heel pattern. i don’t “recognize” it as heel construction. There is not standard heel flap then decreasing and then gusset. i am working the large size so i have 36 stiches on each circular needle… but the pattern calls for 43 stitches. My lace pattern is automatically centered because ALL my heel stitches are on one need and ALL the instep stitches are on the other. Help… i am sooo confused.
Gauge and Size Question
January '08 Kit Questions | January 31, 2008
This is my first year in the club and obviously my first pattern but I was wondering what shoe size does a Women’s Small, Medium and Large correspond to? How does this take into account foot width and circumference? I would greatly appreciate any input from the more experienced members (or those who have already started/finished their socks.) I have small ankles and thin, long feet (depending on the shoe 10.5 to 12). I am a bit torn as to which size to try.I know that gauge varies from knitter to knitter, but I am curious to know what size needles people are using to knit their socks to obtain this gauge? I apparently don’t own small enough needles to obtain the proper gauge. (I need 00 or 000 needles, my US 0 just isn’t small enough.)
