They caused me much grief (the pattern had errors) - but I've learned loads! I've now mastered the magic cast on, and knitting two socks simultaneously on two circs toe up. They're also too small for me so they'll make a nice pressie for a pal who just turned 50.
Here's a close up of the faux cable pattern:

who is going to knit something easier for April!

OOps - the yarn is handpainted sockyarn from Fyberspates and the pattern is a free one from Judy Becker called Snake River Socks.
The faux cable is basically a lace stitch without the yarn overs...
The pattern can be seen here: http://www.persistentillusion.com/blogblog/snake-river-socks/
The magic cast on Judy invented was just that!

Ooh... they're gorgeous!
Well done for doing two at once. I've tried that twice now, but despite following the advice and suggestions of others, just can't get the hang of keeping the yarns tidy.
