The photo is pretty true to color. One question I have, does anyone know a trick to avoid getting knots (for lack of a better term) on each side of a graft? You can sort of see it in this photo, but here is another (very blurry) one that shows it straight on...
Any ideas? Maybe I just need to stick to toe-up socks so I don't have to graft.
Recently, I found a knitting group that meets about 5 minutes from my house, so last night I went to one of their meetings. It was really a lot of fun - everyone was very nice and it was a diverse group. I definitely plan to go again, when my work schedule happens to cooperate on a meetup night.
Other news - I have a niece scheduled to be born later this month. I am planning to do a quick pair of baby socks, but I'm thinking maybe I should make a pair of big-brother socks for my nephew too so he doesn't feel left out. Any idea how big I should make socks for a 2 1/2 year old? I don't have a lot of experience with small children.

The highly technical term for that is "ears". I realized that if I do my kitchener fairly tight (especially at the start and finish) that those are minimized.
Julie is right, and you can also run the end up through the loops and basically tack those down. The trick is to do it in one or two passes or it will get too bulky and you will feel it at your toes. Yuck! Sooo, how the heck are you???? :0)
