Brown Sock!
Size 0 needles - I have now turned the heel on the 1st sock. I don't really like to knit socks with just 4 needles at the heel gusset - I prefer 5. In Austria usually sock needles are sold 5 to a set, but in the US and Canada you get 4. Anyway, I find it easier to keep track of the heel gusset stitches when I have just gusset stitches for each side on their own needles - that way the heel stitches and across the top of the sock stitches stay the same.

The pattern is Gravel Grid Socks. I don't really follow entire sock patterns because I have my own "base" so to speak, but am using the pattern design.

A photo from our train ride today (excuse the window glare) ... we went outside of the city. Graz tends to stay warmer than the surrounding areas - we have no snow... but there is a bit of snow once you get outside the city.
I am a day late for the weekly knitting link-up, but I had M*A*T*H homework and then we were away for the day... but you can still take a look at everyone else's knitting goodness at Judy's blog, "Patchwork Times"

I dislike DPN's so I use two circulars and knit two at a time. I love that both socks are finished at the same time.
Nice sock! Tiny needles though... Brrr, those photos look chilly.
beautiful photos I always enjoy seeing where other blogger live. great socks love the stitch pattern
Hi Evelyn - I have followed your sock making for a long time and always wanted to learn to make them so I have ordered these needles you recommended and the getting started book you recommended not long ago and will *try* to teach myself to knit socks. It will be like learning a foreign language - strange, awkward, challenging - because I am not a knitter. I've only knit a dish cloth or two. But I am up to the challenge and I don't quit easily. Thank you for making it look so fun. :) You make socks and love synonymous. Much like quilts.
