When it's dark out I knit. My monkey socks are coming along. I really like knitting 2 at once on one long circular needle. You have to be careful about tangling the yarn, but it is great once you get the hang of it and learn some little tricks. The 2 socks are then identical. No second sock syndrome. (You make one sock and then don't want to make a second match.) It's great.
First, I started knitting socks on double points. I swear the first set of double points looked just like toothpicks, only skinnier. Then I switched to one sock at a time on two circulars. Now the 2 at a time on one long circular is the best yet. I can't imagine going back to those toothpicks. I knit socks cuff down to toe. My next goal will be to learn to knit socks toe up. I'm not sure why sock knitting becomes an addiction. Wouldn't you rather have a sweater than a pair of sock?
If I have any time tomorrow to knit, (Dancing with the Stars is 2 hours - great knitting time) I 'll probably be ready to turn the heels.
