I have just begun my adventure in the Favorite Socks Book. Wow what a ride it's gonna be! The Waving Lace Socks caught my eye first. So I've cast on and worked about half the sock top in Knit Picks Essential Solid 'Grass'. The green sets off the pattern of the sock and I am pleased so far with the results. The pattern works really fast too. I am new to this KAL and honored to be a part of such a cool community of sock knitters. Pictures to come when I've at least completed one sock. I've ordered more needles so I can try the suggestion of knitting 2 at once. Preventing SSS is a must.
