KAL Chat: Flickr Group and Sock Photo

I think to upload the photos you need to have a free Flickr account to sign into. I've had a Flickr account for awhile which allows me to store all my digital pictures online to link to my blog and what not. :)

I'm interested to see Laurel's socks in Knit Picks "Dancing" sock yarn, it's always hard for me to tell how a yarn will work up from a photo of a skein -- and this is one yarn I've looked at a few times with interest! I cheated and started my socks before the Jan 19th kick off date, but they were CTH method in Cascade Sassy Stripes Superwash yarn on a US 1 needle using Magic Loop . They are plain stockinette stitch with just a bit of K2 P2 ribbing at the top of the leg.

I really liked the yarn and know that my local yarn store has some more in a dark blue/maroon stripe that I *need* to go get for myself so that I can start another pair of socks for moi!

almost ready

I have the needles, the book, the yarn, but I haven't decided on a pattern yet. I think I want to go simple. This is the first time to do two on one. The first time to do socks even. Am I making a big jump. Yes. Can I do it. I don't see why not. I have done every thing involved in socks. I've just never sat down and did them.
This group of Sock-A-Long ladies are going to be my incentive. Now to go decide which toe up I'm going to use.
