Trying to knit a sock

Okay, so the story is that TS from the knitting group and I made a fieldtrip to Joann's in Duluth on Sunday with a stack of coupons and a sale paper. :-) We spent forever in the store looking at just about every single yarn they had there. We got the Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn we wanted on sale for $1 off the usual price. I bought tons. One thing we discussed was how awesome the colors were for sock yarn. So we figured out that the Deborah Norville Collection: Serenity Sock Weight was the best price (and the prettiest colors) and picked one of those tear-off patterns for socks they had there. I had plenty of the double ended needle sets at home, so our plan is to knit socks. I tried once last night while we were all together knitting (knitting group has moved to Monday nights) and quickly became a bit frustrated and frogged what I had done. I've started again tonight, with a much better idea what join in the round means, a better stitch marker, and having learned to keep the work centered on the two needles which are not in use. The picture is the first four rounds. I'm so excited!!!!
