Socks, socks, socks

I am almost finished with hunny's socks. they turned out pretty good. Everyone who sees the basket says ooohhhh, what is that? I don't think anyone knits socks on circulars around here. Even the gal at the yarn shop said, "You do know that these needles are the same size, don't you?" At $7.50 per needle I would think she would just say thank you, come again..hahahaha
