Wow! The Fuzzy Knitter roster is fast approaching 100, that's ONE HUNDRED, as in a lot of warm feet.
As I write this there are 90 knitters on the sidebar. I haven't taken a count of the requests that came in last night and this morning, but we may already be past the century mark.
If you don't see your name and you sent me an email Friday or Saturday, I apologize. I've tried to go through the emails in order, but I may have missed some. Please send me another email and I will gladly remedy the situation.
Uploading everyone's names has been time consuming, especially with Typepad's recent service problems. And, as lame as it is, this is my excuse for not posting the buttons that I promised on Friday. But here they are thanks to Laurie, Cary and Kat:
Please remember to host on your own server!!! Email if you have questions about how to do this.
I'll be back later with an update!
Thanks for all of your work in hosting this little cyber-gathering!

Hi Anmiryan! I finally cast on for my fuzzy feet today and (as promised) I already have a question. These are my first ever socks. I've knitted the first three inches and now I am ready to do the heal. It says this is done on 22 stitches and then it reads "Knit 11 sts past the marker". So does that mean 11 stitches past the marker that marks the beginning of the round? Or do I need the first 22 stitches of the round for use as the heel? I am sure this is so easy and basic and I don't know why I am not getting it but some guidance from any of the knit-a-long crowd would be great appreciated! I am ready to move on but I don't want to screw it up. Thanks! Kristy

Okay, you knit the 11 stitches past the marker, then turn, then Slip 1, purl 21 (the 11 you already knit, plus 11 more). That's 22 stitches, and that is what you work the heel flap on.
Hope this helps,
MBT

Thanks MBT, Beth & Anmiryam! All of your guidance helps. I was just trying to decide whether or not to put my knitting away for the night. Now, I am going to go knit a heel! Thanks so much!!!

Anmiryam, this is awesome!!
And MBT, thank you -- I was reading the pattern and it made no sense to me re: the 22 stitches, and your explanation cleared it up perfectly.
I am only on the cuff of foot #1 ...mmmm.. I am maybe a slow knitter. Ah well.

I finished one fuzzy foot. And being totally anal I Kitchenered the toe. god only knows why. I also added a cuff. The Fuzzy Feet are for my daughter and she wanted more stay on the foot security. I pointed out she could wear socks with them. And she rightly pointed out that winters in coastal Virginia hardly ever dropped to double wrapping your feet. She is young and hot. Just wait missy, cold feet are in your future. signed your mum.
I will post pictures as soon and the camera charges.
You could do wild cuffs. Something glitzy and sparkly. The cuffs are knitted separately and sewn on AFTER the felting
