Knitting Class 5

Well, it's actually knitting class 7, but I had to miss the last 2.  It was nice to finally sit down and do some more knitting.  Plus, Santa has legs!  My teacher, Dory, absolutely loves the stocking and has made a point to show it off in class a few times (to the complete chargrin on one of the other students).  So, here it is so far:

I only have about 13 more rows before I get to the heel part, and my next row will start Santa's boots!  I'm getting there.  Hopefully, I can have this practice one done by Christmas.  I already know I need to use smaller needles for the next one, and double up the angora yarn.  I'm getting excited to get closer to the finishing stages!
