Suddenly, I have a strange urge to try my hand at making five-toed socks.
...
Relatedly, my boys have expressed the desire for more handknit socks. The older one specifically wants multi-colored ones, and the little one will probably want whatever he sees his big brother getting. I'm thinking self-patterning yarn. I've got some long plane trips coming up, so I ought to get my hands on some yarn soon. Anybody got good recommendations for online vendors?

For variety and good pictures beforehand, you can't beat ebay, and I've gotten a lot of yarn from there. (http://web.mit.edu/boojum/Pix/Stuff/tn/toesocks.jpg.html)
