Sock knitting
In this class, designed for the beginning-to-intermediate knitter, you will learn all of the techniques you’ll need to knit yourself a comfortable and well-fitted pair of socks. Students should be familiar with the knit and purl stitches and some basic decreases, and we’ll show you the rest. Some experience working at small gauges is an asset, but not necessary.
This class runs for four weeks on Monday nights, November 16, 23, 30, and December 7, from 7 to 9 pm.
