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." [caption id="attachment_3408" align="alignleft" width="150"] Kjirstine, Customer Service Manager[/caption] [caption id="attachment_3444" align="aligncenter" width="150"] Added a little cable![/caption] Kjirstine is ready to start the heel. "This is when having big feet is a disadvantage. 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." [caption id="attachment_3432" align="alignleft" width="150"] Melissa, Social Media[/caption] [caption id="attachment_3446" align="aligncenter" width="150"] Ready to cast on[/caption] Melissa is enjoying some time away with her family, but she plans to start soon. She says " I'm on vacation and then casting on. 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 Facebookand Pinterest.

Do you feel lost when it comes to picking out your first knit sweater pattern? This week, Kelley shared her favorite sweater patterns during Technique Tuesday. These patterns all feature minimal seaming, have detailed instructions, and have lots of completed projects on Ravelry!
Kelley has knit the Brick Sweater several times, and has decided to knit it again with all our Technique Tuesday viewers! Grab some worsted weight yarn and join us for this informal knit along.
