About the event
Saturdays March 2 & 9 from 11am to 1pm
We'll meet for two class sessions of sock-tastic fun. During each 2 hour class, you will learn a customizable recipe to fit nearly any foot, as well as tackling the parts of sock knitting that often give knitters the heebie-jeebies: casting on a toe-up sock and fearlessly cuting in an afterthought heel. With plenty of hands-on practice and guidance, you'll be knitting socks like a pro in no time! Plus, you'll have a blast bonding with fellow sock enthusiasts. Whether you're a sock knitting newbie or a looking to expand your knitting repetoire, "Sock It to Me" is the perfect class to kick-start your sock-making journey. So grab your needles and get ready to sock it to 'em!
