[Nfb-krafters-korner] Has anyone knitted Socks?

[Valerie]

Hello Eileen, I'm really looking forward to the classes and learning how to
knit in different ways.  I'd love for you to arrange a sock class too when
it seems the right time, this all sounds great fun. Valerie

I'd be up for a sock class.  If you wait until after I do the knitting with 
magic loop & the knitting with 2 circs, people can use either of those 
methods for sock knitting!
