Interested in socks and just haven't taken the leap? Have your knits and purls sorted and want to do something fun... even magical by turning a heel with them? Time to try out sock knitting! This class is meant to introduce you to sock knitting by knitting a top down mini version of a sock with worsted or DK weight yarn.
PLEASE NOTE you'll be making a little demonstration sock with thicker wool so that you can better see and understand sock architecture that you can then apply to a "real" sock pattern.
During this class, we will go over the different parts of the sock, demonstrate different methods of knitting in the round. We will talk about fit and sizing so that you can end up with a comfort sock and talk about patterns that would be best for your first full size sock.
