Learn to knit your first pair of socks!! Knitting in-the-round in a small circumference with double pointed needles (DPNs). Learn the importance of obtaining gauge to create a pair of socks that actually fit-- learn to gauge in-the-round rather than flat. This class offers the basics for top-down sock construction. Discover how to create the heel flap, how to “turn” the heel of your sock, make gussets, toe shaping, and finally, learn the Kitchener Stitch for a seamless toe. Four classes with homework between classes. Classes distributed over approximately four weeks to allow ample time for students to work on project between classes to complete 2 socks by the end of the 4-class sessions.
