Up For A Socks CAL Anyone?
They can be crochet or knit.
I have been wanting to try my hand at a pair of crochet socks
for some time now.
Anybody interested in doing another CAL with me?

I will do this one.  I have a couple of patterns for crochet printed out so I should be good to go.

Me!!
I have some Tofutsies sock yarn.
Going to knit some plain socks.. Two at a time on circular needles..
I'll work in them at night when I take my meds. That way I can get a few rows done every night..

Great Miss Kitty I love that color shading.
I got some Kroy sock yarn from Selena in my Cabin Fever
goodies and I am making mine with that  

I am working one day on the Shawler, one day on the Glorious Shawl
and I will do my socks in the evenings too while I watch TV    

Sounds like a plan

I am all set up at my sofa to get started on a pair of socks
and I don't EVEN have a pattern. Lord help this old woman,
senility has set in for true
Off to find a pattern

Hey, the smallest size hook that I have (other than 3 tiny thread hooks)
is the size E-hook.

Will that work?

I just went on a search for crochet socks and most are done in sock or finger weight yarn calling for size D-hook.
Hubby brought me one home last night so now I have a D-hook  

I found some crochet socks this morning done in the worsted that I think are just gorgeous! I am so confussed now   I don't know which one I want to do first, LOL....the sock yarn one first or
the worsted bigger yarn pair first

Still debating

Do you know of any crochet patterns that look like an actual sock
and not like a slipper?

Thanks for posting the links Miss Kitty.
I saw those but I am not liking them to much.
I saw a pattern the other day that started at the toe but I can't find it now.
I saw a pattern book that I would love to get but I can't find that now, LOL.

I want to start at the toe up and I want the top to be bibbed.
I might need to combine two patterns maybe, don't really know
just how to do that yet, this will be my first pair.

Ah HA, I found one
http://www.geocities.com/mrsd2688/IntuitiveShellSocks.html
It calls for a C-hook but I think a D will work just fine, we shall see.

I like this pair too http://www.geocities.com/mrsd2688/toastedalmondcrunchsox.html
It calls for a D-hook
