2007 Patterns
Notorious Sock Knitters | March 27, 2008
I’m sorry if this has already been asked elsewhere on the blog. I did a search and didn’t come up with an answer, so I figured I’d just make a new thread. Does anyone know when the 2007 club patterns will be available? I had heard that they would be out a year after they were released to last years club members, but the Inside Out (or whatever they were called) sock pattern has yet to appear. I figured it would be out with the Monsoon colorway. I’ve been stalking those socks since I caught the first spoiler last year and am anxiously waiting with a 10% off coupon in one had and a credit card in the other. I’ll probably end up putting an order in anyway, but I thought it would be nice to be able to place just one massive order and then try to stay away for a little while to maintain my sanity and bank account.
AT GAUGE= TOO BIG??
Notorious Sock Knitters | March 26, 2008
On size 2 circs I am right on gauge. But the leg so far looks so big. Anyone else finding this? I am not trusting myself. I always seem to go down in needle and foot size (small for size 9 foot). But, being on gauge I just feel I’m missing something. Leg is wider than any socks in my drawer.
Sizing
March Kit Questions, Notorious Sock Knitters | March 25, 2008
This is less of a question and more of a warning to those already knitting. Yesterday on Ravelry there was a brief discussion about the size of the sock and if it looks larger then normal. I went home and tried mine on and found that the size medium which should fit me, fit my calf but was too loose as I went down my leg. Decreasing 6 stitches (which would make it a size small) is too much (that would be about a 9% reduction) but I found that a 4 stitch reduction made it fit much better. I am still about an inch from the ankle, and since STR tends to bloom a bit in washing I may reduce the last two stitches, but think about this as you either cast on or look at your own projects.(Oh, P.S. My Gauge is about right on par)
Wow

Thats all I could say when the 1st installment fell into my lap,the colours are gorgeous! I havent posted due to forgetting (didnt read the fine print) and I couldnt get my hands off the skein. Havent started it yet due to trying to free needles up to start as they re full of other socks some of which are pressies so cant just hoist them in the UFO box,but Im getting there! So looking forward to seeing what other colours are in store this year!
Coupon

This is probably a question for Tina. Does anyone know if we can use our coupon’s at the Festival in Rhinebeck? Or, does it have to be used on the website?
