socks and fetishes.

there's an interesting phenonemon happening over at flickr. imagine that you, the sock knitter are keen to show off your yarn/knitting skill/the fact that you churned out not one, but two (yes! 2!) socks. so, you upload your photos to flickr, and make 'em public for all and sundry to see. then you start getting people without photos in their profile commenting - can i see your feet? can i buy those socks? would you like to join our photo pool?
it's not your knitting that they're into - it's the foot fetish aspect, which you might like to keep an eye out for. long socks example.
while we're keen on the concept of tootsies encased in cashmere, it's the knitting of said project which is causing the angst. to our shame, it's the gusset that we tend to get stuck on. for those without gusset/sock issues, a couple of patterns from i may be knitting a ranch house - bloody mary & charade .
