Class Details:
Who doesn’t love a sock drawer filled to the brim with beautiful, hand-knit footwear? Wouldn’t it be even better if every sock fit perfectly, held up to years of wear, and, when necessary, was darned properly? Long-time sock knitter Hannah Thiessen offers a system to fit, knit, prepare, and care for your perfect socks. This class covers the full range of necessary sock-knitting tips, techniques & tricks, from making successful yarn purchases and planning your socks, to the basics of sock care, storage, and repair. In addition to three hours of instruction, each student will receive Hannah’s "Sock Knitting Flowchart" in a handy, laminated, reference size and a small kit of sock-related notions to set them on the right path.
