It's great to see what everyone else is working on, I'm just learning knitting so I started small with baby socks and now I'm working on a pair for myself. Then I will tackle a pair for my husband. The book I learned from is "New Pathways for Sock Knitter" by Cat Bordhi. Great book explains everything in great detail, from top down socks to toe up socks. Also gives master sock patterns you can manipulate for different size footsies.
