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

Tons! I made these http://scarlettknits.livejournal.com/796.html for my mother for Christmas, and they were wonderful. I knit these http://emileeknits.wordpress.com/about-2/tempest-socks/ for myself, and http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall05/PATTfallingleaves.html 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 (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring06/FEATmagiccaston.html), 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!
