Hmmmmm, I have thought about trying my hand at a pair of crocheted socks too.
Why wouldn't the sock yarns work?  

Any knitters out there that do both (knit/crochet socks)?
What do you think on the sock yarn crocheted into socks?

Depends on what the pattern calls for..
Most socks are fingerweight or sock yarn..

Hey Kathy want to do a pair of socks????

I crocheted a bunch of pairs using Kroy sock yarn, 75% wool,25% acrylic or nylon.  Anywho they are machine wash and dry.  They turned out good and I can wear them with shoes.

I paid 4.99 for the Kroy once. Then it was on sale at HL, but I saw it I think at either Herrschners or Annie's attice for less than 4.00.  That is a good price.  It takes two skeins of the Kroy for a pair.  Lion brand only takes one.  I made one pair out of that, it is not a soft or stretchy, but still can wear with shoes.  HL regualr price for it was 9.99.  So shop around and make sure it can be washed and dried, cause I don't know about most people, but I don't think hand washing is fun!

Thanks Selena,
and I agree, handwashing is not something that I want to do!

Question. If a sock pattern calls for two circulars, can you still do them
with 4 dpn's?
What would I have to do dif if I use the needles instead
of the circ's ?

Yep.

Just divide the stitches over the 3 or 4 needles..

Got It  

I did up a toe last night in the sock yarn that you sent
I started in the dark blue for the toes.

Now I have to take the two needles and set these stitches over to 3 needles, right? Do I put the most stitches to the top of the sock
and have them centered? Or do I just equally divide the sts onto
all 3 needles?

You divided equally.. Untill you come to the heel.. Then you might want to change them..
