It was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to starting the other one tomorrow. I grafted the toe, which didn't come out exactly to my liking; perhaps I'll try a three-needle bind-off for the second sock.
For the cuff edging I cast on all the stitches onto two needles held together, then removed one and worked the first row like this: k1tbl, bring yarn to front and sl1 purlwise. After the first row I divided the stitches onto four needles and started the ribbing. Generally, a successful first sock.
Also, I found this great skull-gyle (or is the correct term arr-gyle) chart on Moth Heaven. I think it would be really cute across the front of a sweater, or maybe down a sleeve. I've been seeing a lot of cool-looking argyle charts lately. They're starting to give me ideas.
PS - Thanks to everyone for the comments! I love getting commented on - it makes me feel special.
PPS - Check out the lovely new Weather Flapper, keeping my faraway readers updated on exterior conditions. Any suggestions for a flapper name (besides Zelda)?

ALl I can say is I hope LSB's feelings are intact since you chose to model the socks yourself. "I'm Litle Sweet - Smell my feet!"
