So with some sale Zara from my stash in hand, a basic 8ply sock pattern from a Patons book and my KnitPicks Harmony 3.25mm dpns in hand, away J went. And she rocked the socks! Did a couple more rows of rib than was needed, and had a little ladder at the start of the stocking stitch section, but fixed that up (I am so jealous, I still get ladders!!), and had an extra stitch at the end of the kitchener grafting, but all in all, a pretty darn near perfect first sock, which fits beautifully!
I'm so proud! (and what a great stashbuster - teaching someone to knit, or a knitting technique, by using yarn from your stash!)

I've been knitting forever, but I only learned to knit socks about five years ago. I remember how great it felt to learn. How awesome that you have a friend to share that with!
Oh well done to Miss J! What a great first effort. And in Zara too! You know, I've never done an 8ply sock. I really think I ought to, just for the joy of it being so fast!
Fantastic!!! 8ply socks are a good wat to start. Well done all!! I see you are going really well on your April Goals too!!
Well done Miss J! That's a fabulous first sock. Would be perfect for chilly days!
That sock is fab - good student/teacher combo clearly - must get me some DK socks so I actually get some finished soon :o)
Spread the joy Rose Red!!
Another sock knitter! Yay! Just as well because I heard a knitter say today that she is just not cut out for socks. I am glad you have balanced that out for us!

Looks like you're an incredible teacher! That is fast!
Looks really good for a 1st sock - great job Miss J & you must be a very good teacher.
