Hi,
I finished the second Posey, today. I only had one for the pattern pictures. I didn't even decide to do it until Christmas break started, and then I just barely got one done in time to submit the pattern by the due date the first week of January. Anyway, I at least have a pair, now. (Not sure I'm the first one!)
Happy Knitting,
Lisa Kay

Also, I'm having some difficulty figuring out what size needle to use. The size 1's made a square larger than 1", but the 00's (the next smallest size I had) were impossible to knit with. May I ask what size you used for your pair of Posey socks?
First try had problems, and I can't "edit" comments the way I can posts... so deleted and started over!
I used a size 1.5 US needle (2.5 mm). I like bamboo Crystal Palace needles. If you knit quite loosely, then perhaps your square will come out larger. Are you using Koigu KPPPM? It is quite thin. With a larger yarn, it might be quite difficult to get guage. If that is the case, I would suggest reducing your number of stitches by two (one on each side of the decreases; it has to be an odd number of stitches). See what you get with a 15 stitch square. That will make all the numbers on picking up for the heel and the picot edge, etc., different, too.
And regarding Digital Scrapbooking, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements (APE). There are many books out there on APE, including books specifically for scrapbooking as well as just on how to use APE in general. I have found both to be quite useful, and they all seem to have different tips. I like Renee Pearsons books on Digital Scrapbooking, and I also get Digital Scrapbooking magazine, which you can find at www.digitalscrapbooking.com.
Have fun!

Are you doing your knit stitches "through the back loop" per the instructions? If you don't, it will make a looser, larger square.
