Wed, Aug 06, 14
We've been knitting along on our socks for a week now. We have slow starters and speedy knitters. We have socks!![caption id="attachment_3406" align="alignleft" width="150"] Tina, Store Manager[/caption][caption id="attachment_3442" align="aligncenter" width="150"] Lacey Dragonfly[/caption] Tina chose to work a pattern on her sock, and it is the lovely, lacy, Dragonfly Socks. Here's her report:"Chose the Dragonfly Socks from Cavyshops.com. Pattern was written as top down, so inverted dragonfly pattern to work as toe up. Have about 1-1/2 to 2” before beginning heel. Here is where tiny feet would be a plus!"[caption id="attachment_3405" align="alignleft" width="150"] Courtney, Order Fulfillment & Store[/caption][caption id="attachment_3443" align="aligncenter" width="150"] Sock number two[/caption] Courtney is already on her second sock! This is what she's shared with us."When moving from short rows of toe and heel I needed to pick up stitches to avoid getting a hole. I just knit the picked up stitch together with another on the next row."

I finally finished the 8.25" for my foot and I am ready for the heel. I am incorporating the pattern Socks on a Plane. White socks seemed too boring, so a little cable twist gives me more to think about."

Since I"m working worsted I think I"ll finish no problem during the KAL."[caption id="attachment_3407" align="alignleft" width="150"] Kelley, Owner of Alpaca Direct[/caption][caption id="attachment_3449" align="aligncenter" width="150"] Which heel to choose?[/caption] Kelley is also ready to do her heel! Her update is:" I am ready to turn my heels. I am not sure if I will do the short row heel or pick another heel from a different pattern. I decided to do a pattern on the top of my socks. It is a broken rib pattern which has a 2 stitch repeat + 1. Row 1 - knit across row. Row 2 - P1 K1, P1 across row."Hope you are knitting along with us and we'd love to see your progress on our Ravelry Thread or find us on Facebook and Pinterest
