I know it is not the right time to be knitting socks as everyone will be wearing flip flops and sandals soon but I really want to give socks a try.  Do I have to use circular needles or can I use normal ones?  I have never used circular needles before.

I like the idea of knitting some really thick, colourful socks that I can walk around the house in. Does anyone know of any good patterns.  I have heard that there is a new book called      Knitted Sock Sensations that I might have to get a copy of.  Can anyone recommend any other patterns?

I am currently knitting a stripy bag which I can't wait to finish and start using.  I am not looking forward to lining it as that is the tricky part.  I wanted to use up some odd balls of wool that I had left over and this was the perfect project.  I will post some more photos when I have finished it.
