Class Details:
These socks are the perfect way to learn some new skills! In this class we will learn the Turkish Cast-On for knitting toe-up socks and cabling without a needle, the tubular bind-off, and we will explore the Fleegle Heel for a gorgeously fitting heel with no holes on the sides! We will also play with using Magic Loop for these socks. If you prefer double-pointed needles, that is fine.
Homework:
Using worsted-weight yarn and US 7/4.5 mm circular needle (24" cord is recommended), CO 20 sts and work in 1 x 1 rib flat for 3"/7.5 cm. Do not bind off! Leave on needle and bring a spare US 7 needle (circular or DPN).
Supplies for Class:
The Tuku Honey Sock Pattern can be purchased on Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tuku-honey) or Dreareneeknits.com (http://www.dreareneeknits.com/shop/tuku-honey-socks?category=socks). You can bring the pattern digitally on your phone or tablet, or print a copy (and it can be autographed by the teacher!). Yarn: 295 (335, 410) m/75 (85, 105) g Fingering weight (Tuku Wool Sock yarn is highly recommended to achieve gauge). I found that Tuku Wool knits up heavier then some of the popular superwash sock yarns. Make sure you can achieve the intended gauge with your yarn of choice before proceeding with the pattern. Opt for heavier fingering-weight yarns for the best results. Needles: Main Fabric: US 1.5 /2.5 mm – 32"/ 81cm circular for Magic Loop. Ribbing: US 0/2 mm – 32"/ 81cm circular for Magic Loop (Students do not need to bring this needle to class, as we won't make it to the ribbing, but they will want them to finish the socks.) (Use the needle size you need to achieve gauge.) Notions: Removable/clip marker, cable needle and a row counter (both optional but recommended).
