Oh, and I forgot

... to respond to people's comments about that cast-on and cotton sock. I don't think I'll ever use another cast-on again, that one is just really ingenious (maybe Turkish is better!). And the yarn is Lana Grossa Meilenweit Cotton Fantasy, I think. Like I said, I just did housework so I think I "cleaned up" the ball band, but it's Lana Grossa cotton and it was on sale at Webs and probably still is. They had a lot of other attractive colors too.
