Class Details:

This type of sock heel is having a moment right now. They’re popular because they look so tidy when done right, and because they work really well with self-striping sock yarns. This session will talk you through the hows and the whys. We’ll take you through fixes for a couple of trouble spots, and how to fine-tune the fit. Suitable for knitters who have made a few pairs of socks.
