Learn to Love Sock Knitting!
Learn to make your own striped, multicolored, crazy socks!
This class is for those of you who have never made a sock but want to learn. Socks are great for travel and/or gift knitting and they are fun!
Homework will be required prior to class: you will cast on at home and knit the leg/ankle portion of the sock before the first class meeting. This will allow us to maximize our time together. Don't worry - we'll send you instructions well in advance!
In class, you will learn to turn the heel, measure for the correct length of your foot, shape the toe, and Kitchener stitch the toe together to finish off your very first sock.
Class is limited to six participants.
