My book just arrived today. After looking through and deciding I want to make all the socks in there, I think it's time for me to step out a bit and learn to make socks from the top. I know I have plenty of yarn for the patterns in here and I can do this. Right?

I will say, though, it feels strange casting on so many stitches to start with. 60? 68? Wow. And some of the color-work patterns may actually have to be done one-at-a-time. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I like doing both together since I know the tension will be the same for both socks. Things change over time and I knit tight sometimes and loose others (my Goddess scarf is a bit wonky because of that). Hmm.. I wonder if it would be better for me to just try doing them both.

 Well, enough rambling. I'm doing fairly well in the HP knitting group and have made a lot of progress with my Goddess Scarf. I may actually finish it soon. Istill have lots of WIPs but I am plodding forward with them.
