The sock class I'm teaching started on Monday, I think it went well. My 5 students didn't seem nearly as confused by the end as they were at the beginning of the class. I guess we'll really see next Monday if their socks are still socks. Next week we do heels.
I had cast on a sock so that I'd have an example of the first step. I carried it around the whole time and never knit a stitch. So I've got to get on it to get it ready for a heel. I had hoped to have two ready, that's not going to happen, I guess the other will have to be faked.
I took a few pictures, but any hope at natural light failed me. You can see why.
Even when the sun is peeking out it's really glarey. It's going to be 14 degrees by this evening. Yikes!
This is the sample sock for the class. My favorite Cascade Fixation color yet.
And this is almost a sock from my own dyed yarn. I really want another inch or so of the dark blue at the top. I hate ribbing, what was I thinking? The second sock is going to be so slow.

Great socks! Any insights you care to share for teaching others sock knitting? I'm doing a class next month myself.

I made socks in that cascade fixation colorway for my niece. So pretty.
Your hand-dyed socks are going to be fabulous blue-jean socks. Sorry you picked a pattern you don't like, though.
