SOCKS! and other things

Hi all, Here are my sock pictures. Even on actual feet. They fit, BOTH are the same size and BOTH are done! YAY! I made another pair already and wore them last night. It was chilly. I found the pattern here. I decided to make this pair so I could practice the two circ. and cable without a cable needle. FUN FUN FUN! The pattern calls for worsted weight so I used Cascade 220. The came out great and I will post the pictures next week. If you want to give it a try the link is posted. It is a great men's knitting magazine. Scroll down and you will find the sock pattern (#10 for better or worsted) and several other good patterns. http://www.menknit.net/mag/MK1.pdf
