Catching up Part 2

It has been so busy at Chez NK and environs! Work is busy, but going quite well! We said good-bye to our Dear Agent S on the 15th....she is no longer working just down the hall...boo!....she is off to follow her dreams and passions, and our Dear E will be following her in January! They will be starting a business together and we wish them great success and the very best of everything!!!

Wow so pretty, I'm so excited to see what comes in February! You don't happen to have any scraps STR Highway 30' lightweight? I don't think I have enough to finish my socks:(.

Gorgeous! I wish I were at a 4.0, but can't say the same. Congrats! You are such a beautiful knitter!

i know this is an old post, but i have a pomatomus-related question for you. i just finished my first one, and it's really holey along the right edge of the foot, at the spots where the first charted stitch is a YO, especially the one directly preceding the k3tog. and i don't mean normal yo-sized holes, it's at least 2-3 times that big. i noticed it right away and thought i'd made a mistake, so i ripped back, followed the directions like a hawk, and snugged up my stitches nice and tight around that area -- and still the holes. any ideas what i'm doing differently than all of you successful pomatomus-ers out there?
