Done in Plymouth Encore Worsted as required by the class. Not my first choice, but hubby likes them...his first of hopefully a few from me. I have 2 skeins of Regia Silk waiting in the wings to be Thuja's for him! I now can use 3 methods for sock making...hmmm need to learn the 2 at a time method one day! :)
On the dyeing note, below is a skein of Patons Classic Wool that was once the Winter White colorway. Dyed twice with Burgundy Wiltons Icing Colors, not the deep shade I wanted, but good enough....I call it Z'wine and it is a going away gift.
I'm off again today and hopefully will be dyeing and sewing when I return from my son's awards assembly.....later :)

Oooh. I love that color, nice job!
Socks look pretty good! Doesn't it feel so nice to have a project done? Now all you have to do is admire it! Love your little yarn cakes!
Your socks came out great. Hurrah for learning new techniques too - you should be very proud. Have fun doing Thuja - I really liked that pattern.
I'm thinking of taking a class too, just so I can go to a yarn store on a regular basis :)
Your socks are great! Congrats on learning a new tek, too :)
Good luck with the 2 on 2. I tried it twice, and even though I got it going the second time, I found it rather slow. Meh. Maybe I'll try two plain stockinette socks at once and see.
The "Z'wine" looks fabulous! So pretty.
They came out great! I love your yarn cake--it looks good enough to eat!
I still only know one way to make socks, sigh.
No knitting classes here in Croatia! I really envy you on that!
And I also envy lucky bustard who will be gifted with that Z's wine yarn!
And I envy... OK, enough, 2 envies are enough for one comment!
wait to you try that regina silk! Your going to LOVE it!!!
Hey should we be calling you the dying machine...lol Great job!
Awesome socks, and just perfect for a man - unfortunately they don't like all our fancy, colorful sock yarn for their own toes, so they have to go for something single-colored! But this is such a great blue - even though, I have to admit, your hand dyed yarns' color is even more gorgeous!
