I started a sock knitting class today. A new friend of mine mentioned that she had signed up for the class about a week or so ago. I have always wanted to try socks, and even attempted once on my own, but quickly gave up when I ran into some troubles. So I signed up too, and today was the first day of class. We started at the ribbing and this is how far I made it by the end of class.
Our homework is to knit the top of the sock to a length we think we'd like, around five to seven inches. And then next Saturday, our second day of class, we will learn how to do the heel. So far I'm having great fun.
