A little help with directions for star toe, please….

I am a little confused by the directions. I understand where to PM for beginning round well enough, than knit 2 rounds even, ok, got it. But….It says star toe starting with round 4 shape as follows. OK….it tells you what to do for the first 3 rounds for the size large, then jumps to all sizes starting at round 4. What about the first 3 rounds for size small and medium? Is there something missing from the directions? ETA by Alice

Star Toe confusion

JANUARY KIT QUESTIONS | MARCH 07, 2008By JaneLindbergI have survivied thus far but now I’m confused at the start of the toe -  I am knitting the medium size and have 33 and 36 stitiches  (total of 69 stitiches) and after completing Round 4 I have 3 left over stitiches and don’t know what I’mn supposed to do with them.  What’s gone wrong?? The math just doesn’t work out. Please help.

Does anybody have an opinion on the stretch-ability of STR lightweight ‘DragonDance’? Sock #2 is almost done and before I rip back #1’s a bit too tight toe….just wondering. Any and all insight appreciated.

Hi everyone of you crazy rockin sock knitters. I am a first time rockin socker and I seem to be having some challenges with the size large pattern. I had trouble witht the count for the toe. I don’t see how you  get from 72 stitches to 76 stitches without increasing- anyway- Adjusting the pattern, I was able to make it work! Now I am having trouble with star toe. I am using the large size. How do you get from  76 stitches  to 66 with the decrease pattern in the directions for knit10, knit2together?  Can anoyone give a new rockin socker some help?Thanks much, Lynn

I’m making the medium sock on DPNs. I have 22 stitches on each DPN (2 lace repeats worth) to begin the lace. I see that round 1 of the lace pattern starts with a YO that seems like it would be tricky at the beginning of a round. Will this just work, or do I need to adjust the stitches somehow to avoid the YO as the first “stitch” of a new round? (This will happen 3 times in the round the way I have my stitches divided…)

Many of us are not members of Ravelry, and therefore cannot see the pictures that are being posted there. Flickr is a photo site that is accessible by anyone. So how about a Rockin’ Sock Club 2008 Flickr site again this year? Can someone set that up? I’d like to see all of your great lookin’ socks!ETA by Blog Mom Alice: This is the place to post your links and pictures. Looking forward to seeing some beautiful FO’s.
