Join my next sock class as a review at a 50% discount, $30 for the 6 hours of classes. Bring in one of your socks and we will take a look at your concerns and figure out what went wrong. Then knit a second sock correcting the problems that trouble you.

Class
Getting Started Knitting Socks   (Beth) Three 2 hour class - $60 plus supplies
Date & Time
Thursday, January 14, 21, 28 9:30am – 11:30 am
Description
I love knitting socks. They are a small portable project, perfect for the commuter knitting, hockey mom or waiting at the doctor. The sock yarns available are out of this world in terms of fiber varieties and colour. In this class you will learn a good basic sock.
Prerequisites
Intermediate
 


Class
Short Row Heel   (Beth) One 2 hour class - $15 plus supplies s
Date & Time
Monday, March 28 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Description
Many sock yarns, especially computer dyed faux Fair Isle, are best knit with a short row heel so the beautiful patterning is not disrupted by the increased number of stitches necessary for the heel flap and gusset style heel. I was not fond of the look of short rows heels until I discovered Cat Bordhi’s Sweet Tomato short row heel. It is perfect to preserve the integrity of patterning sock yarns.
Prerequisites
This is not a learn to knit socks class, heel technique only.
