Giving in to peer pressure

Socks. Everybody seems to be obsessed. Why, I ask? I'm still not sure, but I have started my first pair of sock-weight yarn socks. My co-worker Pat (I feel weird calling her that since she's lightyears ahead of me) taught me the Magic Loop last night and so I'm about an inch into Adam's socks. I like this method because (1) I really dislike DPNs and (2) I only had to buy one needle! I'm using a 40" #1 Addi Turbo and I'm using the Opal Hundertwassers yarn which I gotta say I'm digging. Adam picked out the color...dark blue but with the awesome designs found in this yarn. So, so far so good. I'll keep you posted.
