Hey, I've joined a "Sock of the Month Club" Knit Along ...SAM3 KAL. It started today. But...I don't think I can legally claim those Trekking XXLs that I finished this afternoon as my pair for February.
So...I've cast on and have completed 4 rows of my February socks. The yarn is the Mountain Colors Bearfoot in Flathead Cherry. The pattern is one I found online at: Poshyarn. Scroll down the page to see the Slip Up Socks. If you move your cursor over the photo of the socks, you'll see an enlarged image of the stitch pattern.
I worked a couple gauge swatches today while at PT and decided that the size 2 needles that the pattern calls for [and not my size 1.5 US/2.5 mm bamboos] will be best. I've been reading posts on the Socknitters List that discuss pros & cons of wooden [or bamboo] needles. I haven't left a comment, but in My Humble Opinion, my one set of bamboo dpns are the best knitting investment I've made yet!

Welcome to blogging world! I love knitting socks, too, but I'm not nearly as accomplished as some of the people on the KAL3. Can't wait to see what you're working on!
