CLASSES
Toe-Up Socks
Saturdays, January 5th and 12th, 2PM-5PM
You’ll be learning to make socks with any weight yarn that you can try on as you go. You’ll need DPN’s or 2 Circulars in a size to match whatever yarn you choose. (usually size 2 or 3 for sock yarn - size 5, 6, or 7 for DK/worsted)
Skills Needed: You must already be able to cast on, knit, and purl and work in the round on double pointed or two circular needles. It helps if you also have experience knitting socks, but if you don’t then don’t let that stop you from signing up.
Cost is $15 which includes the pattern and instruction. You must buy the yarn here, but you can bring your own needles if you already have them. Class limit is 6 students.
