2 SESSIONS - Socks. I’ve always felt like socks were the ultimate knitted gift. In fact, up to a couple of Christmases ago, I had only knit socks for myself and my bestest knitty friend. Mainly this was because I always felt that I needed the recipient near me so that the sock would definitely fit when the socks were all done. Then I found the Fish Lips Kiss heel method and fell in love with a pattern I could easily adapt for any of my friends and family spread all the way across the country. This pattern is worth the dollar! It is easy to pick up and can be used in either top down or toe up patterns. I also love that there is no gusset! Toe up socks offer opportunities to try on the socks as you go and really utilize your yarn to its fullest extent! Two at a time is a fantastic use of the Magic Loop method! No more second sock syndrome! And best of all you will always have a pair of socks (or mittens, or boot cuffs, etc) that will be exactly the same length! Those “design elements” can be identical for both pieces! Honestly, toe up and two at a time is the only way to go! It provides you the opportunity to make your socks exactly the way you want, just once!

Does the thought of knitting a whole pair of socks make you cringe? It takes an average of 36,000 stitches to make a pair of socks so why not take advantage of those cranked sock tube services and then make perfect socks with you in a fraction of the time. Katy will show you how to calculate desired length based on shoe size, pick up stitches, and build afterthought heels for a pair of socks in a fraction of the time a fully hand knit pair would take! There will be advice and recipes for toes too!!! What used to take 24+ hours to make now takes 8 hours or less! The class kit includes hand cranked sock tubes for 4 socks ( 2 whole pairs!!) and a pre wound matching mini in hand dyed yarn as well as 5 removable stitch markers. Bring your own needles (US 1.5 ish) and a positive attitude and we'll have a great time!
