I like the sock yarn that makes patterns for you - that I'll pay for since I hate doing intarsa and the thought of doing it on DPN makes me cringe.
I'll confess that at 60% off I "saved" myself $97 - but I do have enough yarn to finish all my xmas presents and then some.
I went on the last day when it was 70% off and it was a zoo! A polite(ish) zoo, but a zoo none the less. I ended up not getting anything because most of what was left was that crazy eyelash and goofy yarn.
Erin - try knitty.com for directions on the figure 8 cast on - once you get the hang of it it rocks! That way you can knit toe up and not worry about running out of yarn.
I have some yarn that can be dyed before or after knitting and I'm considering knitting socks then dying them with Kool Aid as an experiment.
