SOCK IT TO ME: YOUR GUIDE TO KNITTING SOCKS
Ready to take your knitting skills to the next level? If you’ve completed a few projects and feel confident with knit and purl stitches, it’s time to try something new—sock knitting.
Perhaps you’ve always wondered how socks are made, or you’ve taken one of our previous courses and are eager to build on your skills. This class is the perfect next step.
Join us for two engaging Saturday sessions in a warm and supportive environment. You’ll explore a range of sock-knitting techniques, learn how to shape heel and toes, and gain the confidence to tackle this timeless and rewarding craft.
