Two Socks at Once

Trying this out - some commercial yarn from Lambspun, I can't remember what it was called, and lost the label, but it's special for socks, a washable wool that's amazingly light and stretchy (wish I could figure out how to make my two ply look pearly like that) and I got this book detailing a way of using two circular needles to get a pair of socks going at the same time. Lots of advantages to doing it that way, but a little confusing in the beginning. Once I got going, it's easy, but casting on and the first couple of rows took several tries for me. Looks like the perfect size for Megan. Think I'll actually make something she'll like?
