Sizes question

January Kit Questions | January 28, 2008
By Sock Junkie

Hi all, I will begin knitting this months pattern soon. I am barely able to restrain myself but I am trying to finish decembers socks. Just curious about the sizes everyone who is ahead of me is getting. Are they running true to size or is the medium a big medium or the large a large large. Just Curious! Happy Knitting!!

Big Calves

January Kit Questions | January 28, 2008
By Jean

So, I saw the Big Feet post, so feel safe to post - I’ve got big calves - how do I adjust the pattern to fit?  Foot diameter 8.5″, but calves are 12″ (to make up for this, I was graced with a tiny waist :)) Usually I knit short sox, so 6.5″ will be either be too narrow or I will have to fold them over.  Suggestions gladly accepted!And Thanks - love the colorway.Jean

Two questions before I can start

January Kit Questions | January 26, 2008
By Pam Kanthor

What do I do with the small little wrapped extra yarn. Is that to be used to knit the gauge?

I am confused where to measure on my foot and leg to figure out what size to make.

THE MYSTERY INSIDE THE LABEL

January Kit Questions | January 26, 2008
By Chaya Mushka Davey

Just took my yarn off the swiff and eager to start… i am not going to swatch because i have already knitted with STR lightweight before… love, love, love BUT… what is the mystery inside the yarn label!!! Someone hinted to this on the “Yarn arrived” blog but haven’t heard anyone talk about it any more. My mom’s “inside label” picture and words are different than mine… is it code for the dye lot or the dye artist?????? WASSUP??? Also… can we buy more of this yarn… and in a heavy weight???? Bye for now… i must knit!!!!!!!!!

It is Not Here Yet.

It is not here yet
I can’t dance and I can’t sing
It is not here yet
I won’t do the Highland Fling

It is not here yet
Might as well go to bed
Might as well watch TV
Cause it’s not yet here.

Sincere apologies to the Spamalot folks.
