feeling brave and knitting socks on dpns

-
Ive finally taken the plunge and cast on a pair of socks, knitted on dpns (double pointed needles - 5 of them for the uninitiated).   Its my birthday tomorrow so I had some birthday money given to me, so splurged and bought a set of the lovely Knitpro wooden needles.  The yarn is colinette jitterbug in blue and is a joy to knit with.  The pattern is peacock rib socks and I got it from Ravelry.  Looking good so far I think!
