Finally my cold has abated and I feel more myself. Sunday we had our sock knitting class since the "teacher" was actually upright and conscious. Four friends dropped in for the party, I mean class...three wanna be sock knitters and one scarf knitter who wanted to be in on the fun part of talking just not the sock learning part.
Not sure what everyone expected out of the lesson and I hope they are not dissappointed in the progress made in a couple of hours. The socks did get cast on and placed in the round which was the hardest part for all. The size of the needles and the newness of knitting with 4 needles was a tad bit overwelming in the beginning for everyone. Not to mention how hard it can be to concentrate when you'd rather be talking with everyone else. In the end the 3 wanna be sock knitters have their socks cast on, joined in the round and a few rows of k2p2 done. The scarf knitter got a few rows on her scarf done. A whole lot of talking and laughing went on along with some drinking...tea of course.
Their homework is to complete the 2 inches of ribbing and then start the stockinette for the next 5 inches. We'll get together next Sunday and see how everyone's progress has been. Who know's maybe we'll be able to start the heel & get some pictures of the progress!
