Thank goodness my colleagues keep having babies (at least four more due by the end of the year). It will give me a chance to knit this hat. It's hella cute! The hat was based on the embossed leaves sock pattern from the winter 2005 edition of Interweave Knits. Hmm.. I have that issue...maybe I'll knit the socks too.
I've become a little sock obsessed, even though I have not finished my first pair yet. I have some more sock yarn, but I'm not quite sure what to knit next. I don't think I want to knit a plain sock again - maybe a simple lace pattern? Any advanced beginner/intermediate pattern recommendations?
I have a few sock books in my library:

Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles by Cat Bordhi
I have heard this book recommended on podcasts. I'm wondering if I need to buy it (Or do I have enough books? Does anyone ever have enough books?) Opinions?

Silly girl, you never have enough books! Just owning them is balm for the soul. If you are a socky thing, I suggest "Sensational Knitted Socks" by Schurch. Really great book. I have the second volume on my short list.
I don't think anyone can have too many books (well, I have sort of been pruning my collection) but Sensational Knitted Socks is a very good book and even more applicable than Knit Socks in that it is more a "recipe" for socks rather than just a list of patterns - you can pick and choose the type of pattern you want to use and apply it to whatever yarn and needles you use. It's a very good book.
