I can't wait to start my 3rd pair of socks now. :) They really are the perfect commuting project. Does this mean you've gotten through your knitting blahs?

Hippo Birdy to Ewe!! Laura has a good hint...knit into the back of the stitch. Or I pick up both parts of the stitch and it keeps the hole to a minimum. You second one will better and each one after that. Have a super good day!!!! Ok..so today’s the day? Hippo Birdy to Ewe!!

If you knit into the _back_ of every stich (instead of the front like normal), it twists the stich and helps to close the hole. My socks look a lot better since I started doing that.
