Those socks look great. DH is telling me he wants me to have a go at sock knitting!! Will have to look around for something suitable - he wants thick warm winter socks.
I've just traded some silk/merino DK to have another go at socks I'm going to make some house/slipper socks with some of the odd skiens of Aran I have though. I might also end up adding a skien of DK Sparkle to my Snugglebots Co-op order too
I think the worst thing about socks is the second, SSS (second sock syndrome) does seem quite common I've quite a few sock yarns, but also want to stay reasonably sane
I've just joined in the second ball of yarn into Bella's cardigan, but I'm about 3-4" from the bottom. To give it a bit of extra length (she's got quite a long body), I'm going to do 3 lots of garter stitch at the bottom.
