I am knitting the second sock to a pair for DH - now that he has tried on the first and declared it fits perfectly. (I just made it like mine but a bit longer and kept the rib on the instep needles going until I got to the toe decreases - lots of stretch helps.) I am also working on a summer sweater. The ruffle on the bottom of it was causing me fits because the number of stitches required for the first ten rows crowded my circular too much. I think it was Jan that suggested I do it half at a time until the decreases made it more manageable and then join. That worked like a charm and I am past the ruffle and working along on the body. I am also doing a Dale baby sweater with lots of color changes and some cute little ladybugs in some of the stripes. It keeps my interest because of all of the colors - but there are certainly a lot of ends to weave in. (I am doing it every once in a while as I go so that it doesn't all sit there until the end,)

Judy, I'm happy to hear my suggestion worked out for you. I look forward to seeing a picture when it's finished.
