Socks, Socks, Socks

In addition to the orangey-brown sock that I'm knitting from the toe up, I've started another pair, using Brown Sheep Wildfoote Luxury, Brown Sugar. this is really nice to work with and I've already finished the toe shaping. I'm curious to see how much progress I'll make before end of the weekend.

While reading the blogs, I came across blogdogblog's post about Queen Kahuna's Crazy Toes & Heels. Of course, I just had to get it and am I ever so glad i did! It's chock full of useful tips and ideas. Well worth the money, compared to beginner's books with approximately the same number of pages (100 pages) where you have a picture, a pattern, and lots of white space and precious few encouragements to expand one's horizon beyond big-knit sweaters. I've been reading it every chance I can get, looking at the pictures and having “ah-ha” moments.
