YES. It is OK to post any picture of your projects. While I'm sure that KP is very glad when the yarn is their own, even some of the KP people use some other yarns too.; ▶ Reply to This

Here are a couple to get you started!

KnitPicks Lovers
KnitPicks Shoppers
KnitPicks Socks

There are probably a lot more but these are the most popular!

Hope that helps!

I see a lot of abbreviations used here on the community, and some of them (i.e. KAL) were pretty easy to figure out, but some of them I still haven't deciphered (i.e. UFO...this only has one meaning for me, and I assure you it has nothing to do with knitting ;-)). Is there somewhere like this yet, or could something like that be put together for those of us who still haven't caught on to all of the lingo?; ▶ Reply to This

We have many yarns that would be good for socks - you can use any weight of yarn for socks but the ones that hold up best, in my opinion, is a fingering or sports weight wool/nylon blend. Stroll would be your best bet:

Stroll
Stroll Tweed
Stroll Multi
Stroll Kettle Dyed

Felici is another one that is great - I have made several pairs and they have all held up well. In fact I have a pair on today! :)

Felici

Both the Felici & Stroll hold up well because of the nylon content, but if you are not as hard on your socks as I am, the rest of the KnitPicks sock yarns are here.

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!
