Hey, where is everyone? I was excited to see the poll results last week, and then when I went to get out my book to start the project with everyone else I...
Hi Joni & All, I'm new to this group so even though I've been knitting socks for a while this will be my first project with all of you. I'm planning on...
You're right Joni, things are quiet here in Folk Sock land aren't they. I still haven't done the Estonians, I'm disappointed in myself. I've been knitting...
Hi all I will be knitting soon just finishing up a present for a very ill friend then on to socks. What wool is everyone going to use? Hugs from Humid Niagara...
I have stalled out on my Estonian socks. I am knitting the heel flap for my first one but I'm just not feeling the love. I think I may set it aside for a...
... Thanks for the information, Jessica, I had wondered that myself. I'm glad you let us know. I don't know if I want to knit the Mamelukes, as beautiful as...
Thanks so much for pointing out the significance of the symbols for Allah on the socks. I would not have known about this. Niagara Region has a very large...

Hi Folk Knitters, As moderator, I would like to do a roll call and see how all of you are doing. What are you currently knitting? Are you knitting Mamluke?...
I am ready for another sock. I haven't even started Mamluke ~ yarn/work/summer vaca/too many ufo's...all valid/lame excuses but it's not happening for me. I...
I'm not going to be knitting Mamluke. But I'm very behind on my sock knitting. I'm still working on the last pattern for the KOTR KAL. A little extra time...
... Hi Rebecca, I'm with you. I didn't start Mameluke either - I just can't get organized enough to do colour stranding in the summer. I actually bought yarn...

... Wow! those turned out great - I love your "deviation"! What yarn did you use? And how do they fit? I notice you decided not to strand that foot - was that...
Hi Folks, Well I've finished the first Mamluke sock and just posted a photo of it tonight in the Mamluke/Progress folder. I am working on the second one now...
Hi Rebecca, I have posted a picture of my Mamlukes to the folder. I made them in February otherwise they wouldn't have been completed! I'm still knitting...
Amanda, your Mamlukes are gorgeous -- you've given me lots of inspiration to finish my second one! And how creative to display them "in theme" like that with...
Oh no, now that I'm seeing the finished Mamelukes I'm becoming envious, despite never having really intended to knit these! Beautiful job, everyone. Sophie...
Thanks Suz, I like taking photos of socks "in theme" depending on the socks/season etc. I spent part of my childhood in Saudi Arabia and my Mum came back with...
Hi Folk Socksters! I think I will keep the length of the current sock knit the same and so, you will all have September to either finish up or get caught up on...
