Please note: To take this class, students must be proficient at casting on, knitting and purling in the round, and know basic shaping techniques. (Being familiar with any kind of "small circumference" knitting is a plus, but not required). None of the basics will be taught in this class, and refunds/credits will not be issued for students who are not ready to learn what we are teaching. If you are unsure if this class is for you, please reach out to us.

In this two-part class, we're going to work two socks at the same time, toe up, using the pattern Cozy Chillin' Socks by Finicky Creations.
In the first session, we are going to start with Turkish cast on and begin working the toes while also becoming familiar with the magic loop method of knitting. The entire first session will be devoted to getting your socks started, because this is the hardest part!
The second session will be all about heel construction, so your homework before returning will be to get your socks to the point where you can begin shaping the heels.
Hilary is working with the Uneek Worsted to make some slipper socks for lounging, because she's always wanted to play with self-striping yarn. You can certainly do the same, but if you want something a little sturdier for walking around in, consider the Movers & Makers Wicker Park Worsted, Fuzz Family Auntie Afghan Worsted, or Malabrigo Rios. You'll need size 40" US 5 circular needles and stitch markers in addition to about two skeins (roughly 400 yards) of worsted weight yarn.
Classes are for adults and young adults aged 16 years or older.
Please note that we have a one-week rescheduling policy and that classes and workshops are non-refundable. We will happily reschedule you for another class or allot store credit if we are notified of any conflict at least one week in advance.
We cannot guarantee make-ups for no-shows or cancellations within one week. Classes with low attendance may be cancelled and rescheduled in which case, we will offer a credit for a future class or a full refund.
