Plain Old Socks... what's next?

... using pretty spectacular yarn.

I know they are what everyone called "plain vanilla socks", but this represents an achievement for me.

I'm looking for the next "hurdle," hoping to get out of knitting beginner status, but I have a problem with the way I purl (or knit and purl, in some people's view). (Or, maybe it's just that I'm left-handed.) Anyway, I've found trying to learn to do lacework challenging. I keep ripping it out.

I bought some great, beautiful sock yarn, but it's rather thinner than what I have used so far, and it makes my palms sweat, a little.

Any ideas?
