 Two at a Time, Toe up Sock Class

Come join John as he leads a group through their very own class in two-at-a-time sock knitting! No double points needed, since we'll be using the magic loop to knit our socks. The class will focus predominantly on creating two small, baby socks as a model for understanding the three major pieces of sock knitting: toe up cast on, short row heels, and a nice stretchy bind off. These three topics will be covered weekly.

Our first class will meet at 3pm on Sunday, February 12th and again every week thereafter for three weeks. Students will be provided with a worksheet with notes and homework from the instructor with space for personal notes to be taken as we discuss class content.

Students are encouraged to attempt a pair of adult-sized socks in any yarn they choose alongside the baby socks we will be making in class to further hone their understanding of techniques covered together.

Class dates: 2/12, 2/19, 2/26*, 3-4pm
Skills Req'd: knit, purl, and increase (m1 preferred, but kfb OK)
Cost: $60 per student
Minimum students: 2 Sock-a-holics (2 spots taken)

You are welcome to buy some fingering weight yarn and smaller needles (US 0-2.5) if you would like to attempt some socks for you. :)
