A Sock Class

Just an indication of what a person can do with a little ingenuity.

I had a sock class yesterday, and the manager signed my student up for a class on two consecutive days, which isn't a BIG problem, unless you're supposed to have the sock actually KNIT in two consecutive days, which is nearly impossible for an experienced sock knitter, let alone a beginner.

So I recommended that she switch to next week, to give her time to knit the first half of the sock (ie, to the heel flap), then I would show her how to knit the heel turn and the toes (and when to knit the toes) and to kitchner the opening shut.

It sounded like a plan to both of us, so I left a note for the store manager on her desk. I hope that she finds it okay.

This frees up my schedule so that I can go to my doctor appointment (which I had forgotten I had, just like I forgot my Woolgatherer's Dinner and my supper with my step daughter and her family--I was simply batting without a bat apparently), and also for my Da Bull Spinners Group Christmas Salad Luncheon, which I'm fixing a loaf of homemade bread. You see, I'm not so fond of salads, and figure it's the only thing I might actually eat.

Anyway, then at 4:30pm, I have another Crochet Ripple class to work on my ripple afghan. I haven't shown it to you yet, because I haven't got much done on it (only almost 7 rows) and it's looking good!

But back to the ingenuity.

I decided to make a sock for the sock class. I got about 1/2 done with the leg in 2 days which is why I offered to my student to take the 2nd installment a week later. And then I started a different kind of sock.

Maybe you can tell what it is by the beginning?

Well, I guess that let's the cat out of the bag, doesn't it?

Pattern is for sale in the right margin. Have fun knitting this one--it only took me a couple of days. Make sure you get 9" long dpns if you use dpns. Otherwise, the stocking works for Magic Loop Users just fine, and will probably go even quicker.
