I love that figure 8 cast on! It's what I used when I tried toe-ups from that crazy toes and heels book.
I don't know why but I have a mental block against short rows and the first few socks I made are toe down, so I usually do that... it helps that I actually *like* the kitchener!

But I really want to learn the other way and do it.
My mom made some mini socks with an 00 or 000-- for earrings. Talk about tiny!
Hope you enjoy the patterns....I'm working on a pair of opal socks right now... love that stuff.
