Well, the yarn I’m using for Angel’s socks does anyhoo. I’ve cast-on for this month’s Sock-of-the-Month socks (many times actually) and I really like the “Aloha cast-on method”:http://www.queenkahuna-creations.com/crazytoesandheels_alohacaston.pdf very much!

What a wonderful secret pal I have!
I feel so spoiled and loved! I received package #2 from my Secret Pal 7 and it just made my day! Her note was so sweet – especially this excerpt: bq{font-style:italic}. “I am enclosing some skeins of Cashmerino for you to make something for Kamryn … this way I can pretend I helped.” In my…
