Also, I love my computer.
That is all.

Heya! I want to start socks! Do you have a good first sock pattern to recommend me?!

Tons! I made these

for my mother for Christmas, and they were wonderful. I knit these

for myself, and

these will be started as soon as I finish my current project(s).
I've been doing mine toe-up (instead of leg-down), and really like it; if you're feeling brave, try the magic cast-on (

), it makes the toe totally invisible!

Awesome! Why do you like toe-up? Do you modify patterns to be toe-up? I guess you'd just work backwards, right?

I like the way the toe works out, and I think it makes it easier to fit the sock.
I don't reverse the pattern, but I suppose you could. It just makes the reverse pattern (ex. the opposite cable twist) from what it normally would be.
Good luck!
