I made a pair using this pattern. It uses a thicker yarn so the socks are good for wearing around the house, not so good for wearing in shoes. After making these I had a better understanding of knitting socks and using double pointed needles. I started a pair using thin sock yarn but I'm just too clumsy and never finished them.
