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...
... you ... so, ... <snip> I finished my Mamlukes while on vacation, and just posted a picture on my blog today. I am sure I deviated from the pattern more...
... 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...
Hi Everyone, I'm late to this knitalong but I'd like to throw in my 2 cents in regards to the next sock. I'd love to knit the Schottiche Kilt Hose. Right now...
Hi Janet, Welcome to the group! I like the Scottish Kilt Hose, too. They have come in close in the polls so I wouldn't be surprised if they were a winner next...
Hi Janet, Welcome to the group! I also like the Scottish Kilt hose and even have the yarn for them. They have been runner up in our voting polls so maybe...
Hi Janet, You asked about what yarn I had in my stash for the Scottish Kilt Hose. It is actually the same one in the book - Naturespun in the Ash color. I...

Celebrate Socktoberfest by knitting the Scottish Kilt Socks! Yippee, what I voted on won! Will anyone else be using the Naturespun? Rebecca ...
I`ve been a member here a long time, but haven`t knitted any socks yet. I`ll be knitting the socks this time, and maybe I`ll try to get some of the others done...
Hi Everyone, I've bought some yarn for these but I'm waiting to see what everyone else has to say about their yarn choices before I begin. I suppose I should...
Hi Janet and Everyone I've ordered the Nature Spun, although I've never used it before. I rarely use the suggested yarn in sock patterns, preferring to use...
Sue and everyone, I love the picture in the book also so I'm still thinking I may just order the Nature Spun. I do plan to swatch, whichever yarn. It's such...
I saw a lovely version of the kilt hose on the "So Much Yarn, So Little Time" blog, which really inspired me. She used Devon yarn from Elann.com instead of...
Very nice! It's a good pattern for either a man or woman. I will still knit the original version this time, with the cuff and in a heatherier yarn, just...
Has anyone started yet? I plunged in without checking gauge and it ended up being way too big. I used Naturespun and 2.75mm...I think I'm going to have to...
Hi Rebecca, I haven't started and I have my chosen yarn - Lana Grossa Meilenweit, in color 1310. I don't know what's stopping me. I know the gauge is 8...
Well, I have my Naturespun now and no excuses! Time to make the first gauge swatch. Some people find that they start many things and lack momentum to finish....
