Comment by Hill Country Knitter on May 1, 2009 at 3:34pm: Hi, I need help with the Slouch Socks. For the life of me cannot figure out tuck rounds. Any way I do it it doesn't come out to 52 sts per round.

Comment by parisribbons on February 8, 2009 at 12:05am: I studiously avoided knitting sox for over 40 years. I AM THE QUEEN OF AVOIDANCE! I figure the time has come . I don't have the book or the yarn yet. I just decided today to stop the avoiding. I'm counting on all of you for moral support and assistance. I shall return.

Comment by Linnylou on January 5, 2009 at 6:50am: Knitting socks for charity gives me much pleasure. I'm going to a retreat to learn more about knitting socks on long circular needle, two at a time. This would solve at least three problems, socks matching in size, and getting the job done, and finding someone to wear them. It is rewarding to help others.

Comment by Mary on December 3, 2008 at 10:18am: I'm doing a pair of the 'fab for flip flops' p. 71 for the girl who does my hair and nails and worked on them during a recent bus ride (4 1/2 hrs) to NYC. I planned on doing a pair for my 12-yr old cousin but she informed me Thanksgiving that she 'hated' socks. Oh, well, who can I give them to now?

Comment by KnittinNana on November 5, 2008 at 6:14pm: The zigzag socks are done and I'm working on another pair of footlets! It's a good thing my family likes hand knitted socks!

Comment by KnittinNana on October 28, 2008 at 9:36am: I am working on the zigzag socks for a Christmas gift. Love them! I've already made the footlets and the lovely lace socks. Out of all my sock books, this one is becoming the favorite!

Comment by Maggie on October 17, 2008 at 1:15pm: I have chosen to knit the Covered in Cable socks, but have run into what seems to be a problem with the instructions for the cabling. Does anyone else knit this pattern?

Comment by Renee on September 22, 2008 at 5:47pm: I started the striped chevron shaped socks. I am doing them on a set of five needles, four with the stitches and one to work with. This is great since there is one pattern on each needle. This way I don't have to count! I really like the book.

Comment by SOCKGIRL on September 13, 2008 at 9:12pm: Well, Hi ! I just joined this Sock knit-a-long.. also have enough wool to do 25 pairs of socks and I knit both socks on dpn so I don't get bored and won't finish them.. I'll have to find the book you all are using and get started on one of the patterns.
