Yes, I finished ripping out the sweater and the next day cast on a pair of socks. I am using two circular needles to knit two socks at a time. I have knit socks before, but it has been awhile, so I pulled out a book I found in a stash of craft books. These socks knit top down.

I made the mistake of working each sock from the same yarn cake, one strand from the inside, one from the outside. The yarn twists as I turn the work and I’m constantly untwisting as well as untangling from around the circular needles. I have done double pointed needle knitting, but all the ends capable of dropping stitches terrifies me.
