rainbow sox
I finally have a new knitting class! I haven’t taught in over a year, and I am really excited about this one. It’s no secret that I love knitting socks. I almost always have a sock on the needles, and I want to teach you how too.

This class is perfect for a beginning knitter who wants to learn how to knit in the round or an experienced knitter who hasn’t quite learned how to knit socks yet.

We’ll explore the shape of socks, construction, and gauge.
