This is a classic in knitting!  Have you been envious of how gorgeous, fun, portable, and satisfying socks can be for knitters?  Then this is the course for you.  Socks may look complicated, but by the end of this class you'll be able to knit a pair of socks.

This is a two part class, meeting two weeks apart - allowing you time to finish at least one sock down to the toe to prepare for either the kitchener stitch or finchley graft to close up your toe.

Be warned... once you wear a pair of hand knit socks you may never want another pair of store bought socks again!

Date:  Thursday, November 2 & 16, 5pm - 6:30pm
