I think there are a total of 10 right now. When you go to the Sock KAL they are currently listed on the first 2 pages of the different discussions. The first ones are on page 2.

Have fun with them

TIAs can be scary. I hope your DH is doing okay.

At 5:29am on August 28, 2009, SOCKGIRL said…: I have given up knitting all together.. I was getting myself so frustrated I decided it wasn't worth it. Maybe I'll take a short vacation from needles and yarn and try again later..

At 8:29am on August 13, 2009, cherylbwaters said…: First, Margie, don't get frustrated with it. Knitting should be relaxing. There are lots out there that have taught themselves to knit, including in this knitting community. Susan the Blue Lake Knitter comes to mind as one. I learned to knit from my mom when young but didn't knit for almost 40 years before picking it up again. So we can help you through this.

Have you ever knit in the round on double pointed needles?

Here are some videos to review:
Working on DPNs
On one circular (not magic loop)
On one circular (KP's video)
Another on one circular.

Go here for a link to all the videos on YouTube about knitting in the round.

First you can get the Mr. Foster pattern by going to KP's patterns. It is now a download for $4.99, I think. It gives you all the patterns for all the clothes.

Second, I just left you a comment in the Sock KAL. Click on this for a link to that comment. There I give you some instructions on how to maneuver through this site. Let me know if you need anymore help!

Let me know if you need anymore help. I also made mine with smaller kneedles 2.75 and a #3 yarn.
Happy knitting

You need to do exactly what it says even if it doesn't make sense. I will check the pattern and be more specific when I get home.
