Knitted socks

I knitted some socks years ago from a magazine pattern, wore them once and ended up unravelling them because they were far too lose and slipping down on the sole of  my feet - look at that ridiculous shape!:

So I've since rekindled my liking for knitting socks and finished some ankle ones 18 months ago or so, and I love those.  Started them with the Judy's magic cast on which is a great technique.
I've now bought Toe-Up 2-At-A-Time Socks by Melissa Morgan-Oakes as I was suffering from the 2nd sock syndrome - so watch this space.....  And I have a small (ish) stash of the sock yarn from the YarnYard which I got through the Small Skein Society last year, so I won't need to buy more yarn (or will I...) :-)
