Am I really the first?? Can’t believe it!! I can tell you - I just love that new colourway and I hoped soooooo much that it would be like that !!

Hope you’re all very pleased when you get yours.

Can we talk join methods?

No matter how much I knit, I can never seem to get the initial join right.  It’s either always gappy or strangely crossed.  Sometimes it’s better if I’m knitting on DPNs but sometimes not.  My normal method is to cast on one extra stitch, slip the slip-knot stitch over to the needle with the working yarn, then start off knitting what would normally be the second stitch as the first stitch in the round.  Then, when I get to the end, I knit the last two stitches together (one of them being the slip-knot stitch).  Clear as mud? I’m guessing there has to be a better way.  I’ve tried others, but still seem to get a gap, no matter how tightly I pull the yarn.  Does anyone have a magic solution? 

Just Starting.

I am deeply ashamed (and excited as well, since I’m finally getting to it) to admit that I am just starting my March pair.  Moving, job, and all those pesky life things got in the way of knitting.  Can’t wait to see the new yarn, though.  I may cry if it’s yellow, since it will remind me of a moving truck….:-) (Edit: Title added by Blog Mom Alice)

I know a lot of excitement is building for this kit on Ravelry, so I thought I’d start a post here for those that may not be on Ravelry to express your excitement for the May kit! I can hardly wait myself! Also to let Tina and the gang know that we appreciate the fun that they provide with this sock club, I’m super glad I joined, THANKS!
