I was not shooting the teachers, they did an awesome job of giving a list of
supplies and teaching how to make the socks. I am so glad I did not miss any
of those classes. As said before, I'm thinking that possible the skein of
yarn was short changed somehow as it was a brand new skein of yarn.
I went back tot he store today to get some more and don't you know it, they
were OUT of it! I'll have to wait until next week to see if more comes in. I
do plan to make another pair using the same type of yarn.
Cindy, I'm just enough of a perfectionist that I want it all the same color,
lol althought it's not like I'm going to be wearing them out in public, so I
could got with another color for just the one toe section, hehe. Actually I
was thinking of doing that.
