We are excited to announce the new Sock Knit-a-long started in Fall 2007 is continuing into 2008. We are working with the book New Pathways for Sock Knitters (by Cat Nordhis). This great new book takes a fresh approach to creating socks – from the cuff down and the toe up. We are starting at the beginning with a couple of small learning socks and then plan to branch out with other patterns.
Knitting skills are required, but new sock knitters are welcome as well as experienced sock knitters who wish to expand their horizons.
There is no charge for the class however we request that you purchase your supplies from shop. New Pathways for Sock Knitters ($28.95) is available for purchase at the shop as are a variety of knitting needles and yarns.
