Tuesday, April 10 & 17: First Time Sock Class


A First Time Sock Class! Join us on Tuesdays April 10th & 17th and learn to knit a sock!  We'll use a pattern that is just right for your first pair of socks.

Project:  Beginner’s Lightweight Socks by Knitting Pure & Simple
Date:  Tuesdays April 10 & 17
Time:  9:30a - 11:30a
Cost:  $35.00

Knit from the cuff down, this sock will introduce new sock knitters to basic sock construction.  Special techniques include heel flap, gusset decreases, and toe shaping.  

Materials:  100 grams/416 yards fingering weight yarn, US #2 double point needles, stitch marker, tapestry needle.
:  men & women

This workshop is suitable for Intermediate Knitters.  Intermediate Knitters are Current Knitters who know the basics:  long-tail cast-on, knit, purl, and bind off.  Experience working with double-pointed needles is a plus but not required.  This is an ambitious class & will require knitting at home.  We will review the whole pattern & all techniques, with particular attention to turning the heel.

The pattern & yarn for this project are available for purchase at LYS.  You may bring your own needles and tools for this project.


Remember, class size is limited, please call (717) 768.8007 to reserve your place.  Payment required at time of registration.
