We are going to tackle one of the knitting basics….socks! We are going to teach both basic socks and intermediate sock techniques in this 2018 series. You can take the whole series and end up a fearless sock knitter, take just the basic class series and learn sock construction, or if you are already a sock knitter and are ready to step up your game you can just take the intermediate classes!
The series will begin with a 3-meeting class for Beginner Socks! This will teach you the basics of sock construction. Once you have built your first sock and know where you are in a sock you are equipped to understand all the other ways of making a sock!

Class 3 - finishing sock and Kitchener toe
