I finished up the 2-at-a-time socks on Friday. I really enjoy knitting the socks this way. It was great to not have to cast on for the other sock and they only took me a week! The technique was simple to learn and if you follow the directions closely turning the heel is a piece of cake. The yarn I used was Vesper sock yarn in the "Strange little mama" colorway and a US1 32 in. Knitpicks circular needle.
Friday night I cast on for another pair of socks. The pattern ( which I really couldn't get to photograph) is Stems from More Sensational Socks and the yarn is Alpaca Sox that I purchased from the Loopy Ewe a while back. I figured a ripped pattern is best sind alpaca is kind of on the drapy side and I wanted the socks to retain there shape.
That's all for now have great day all!
I'm just happy to be knitting them. :) Socks rock.

The Vesper color way looks like a color way I have from Sunshine Yarns. Mine is called Rock Star Girl. And I almost wore mine today. They are my favorite socks since they cheer you up with their colors.

great socks Kelly :) Kelly can you direct me to a baby sock link pattern that is thorough in its instructions - even one from Ravelry would be great as long as the instuctions are understandable - some ive found dont explain things enough and im getting really confused. :(

Wow! I love these! I'd love to have as large a collection of socks as you probably have. I think after working 2 at a time, you never wanna go back to working on just one.

Another convert to two at a time!! It is the way to go, looks like you are having fun. I am glad to be back home and the current 70 (yes 70) degree weather...won't last long but I will take it after last week.
Happy knitting!
