Class: Beginner Socks Class - Toe Up

Join sock expert Mandy for this introduction to sock knitting where we will use a very simple toe-up technique - no kitchner stitching required!

We will cover the best types of yarn for knitting socks, basic sock construction, inserting waste yarn for the heel (if needed by the pattern), and finishing techniques. This class is suitable for someone with basic knowledge of knitting, and required skills include: casting on, the knit & purl stitches, knitting in the round, and binding off.

Cost of the class includes:

• 1 skein fingering weight yarn (wool + nylon) available in the shop, excluding FibrePunk.  We love helping you pick out the perfect yarn, so don't hesitate to ask!)

Materials needed for this class include:

• US 1.5 (2.5mm) needles - or size needed to obtain gauge.  You might consider a 9" circular knitting needle, DPNs (Double Pointed Needles), or HiyaHiya Flyers.
• stitch marker(s)
• scissors
• a yarn/tapestry needle
• a tape measure

Classes are non-refundable, so please check your calendar to make sure you can make each meeting.  If something comes up, you can check with us about a reschedule, but it is at our convenience and discretion, and the make-up class must be taken within 90 days, and contingent on the class being offered again in the future.
