Socktober 24 — Virtual Meet-Up 10/9/24
Wow! What a fab hour — so many great patterns shared, plus a lot of amazing tips from our group. We did some live-action trouble-shooting with Julie from WA about an unfamiliar abbreviation in her pattern.
A couple of book recommendations from the group —
The Sock Knitters' Handbook: Expert Advice, Tips, and Tricks by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott. (This one is out of print, but may be available through your library or through a used book seller.)
How to Knit Socks: Three Methods Made Easy by Edie Eckman - this has the Grain Stitch Socks that Pat is making.
Welcome to Lynn from NH, a Remote Goat and new KAL participant, who visited us this summer! She's just finished her first pair of socks in awhile, and is about to start on her Baba Noel Stocking Kit:

We also welcomed Heidi, a Local Goat, who's working on her first pair of socks. Yay for new sock knitters!
Congratulations to Teresa for figuring out how to do intarsia stripes for her Mets socks in their team colors! She consulted a few resources and came up with a beautiful outcome.
This week Beth shared her experience with the Fish Lips Heel construction — she tried something new and enjoyed it! The Fish Lips Kiss pattern can be purchased here:
