I am a vintage knitting FREAK! I just love finding that stuff....especially if it's still in the original package.
Take a look at this old poncho kit I bought several years ago on eBay.

Believe it or not, I actually found another one in a different colorway!

Those models on the cover get me every time, with their awkward almost-walking pose.

Now I have to start over. I guess just as well, the more practice I get the more comfortable I feel. I can't find any Bernat Sox Yarn in this town. I have tried several Wal Mart's, JoAnn's and Michael's. You would think with 1.2 - 1.3 million people here they would carry it. 
Our craft stores here desire a lot. I'll just have to order it online and wait. I don't like waiting. I have ants in my pants and can't sit still that long. 
I haven't seen you on to much lately. I hope you feeling OK. While waiting for more sock info, I have been working on the Bernat From The Middle Baby Blanket. I did get a chance go to your friend Silver's site and starting reading about the socks. Pretty cool, she had a lot of tips that I think will help. Thanks. 
I'm hoping to cast on my ankle socks tomorrow, with the camera taping. I'm so glad my friend Silver's tutorial helped you. I used it a lot when I first learned sock knitting.
