“Your First Sock” Workshop (Fall 2007)

Socks are a great way to take your knitting to the next level! They are portable, quick, have great variety and make wonderful gifts. Spend a Saturday getting in touch with your inner knitter. We supply the pattern for a top-down sock with a classic turned heel, in a child’s size so that it’s possible to complete it during the workshop. You’ll go home knowing many basic principles of sock-making, ready to explore the wonderful world of socks!
