Become a sock knitter!
Join Jane for Sock Club, a four-week series designed for knitters ready to build their sock knitting skills. Each session focuses on techniques to help you knit socks that fit beautifully while building your confidence with every pair.
It’s Back-to-school season, and spooky season isn't far behind! In this session, we'll be knitting the absolutely adorable Summer Lee Cuff Club shortie socks.
Choose between the whimsical Ghosts or adorable Apples cuff pattern (if you're feeling ambitious, cast on both!). With these quick little shortie socks, you may just finish two pairs by the end of class.
Throughout the series, you'll learn:
- How to knit socks that truly fit
- Colorwork on a small circumference
- Jogless stripes
- Tips for knitting socks that fit perfectly
- Jane's favorite heel construction
- The ease and speed of knitting with FlexiFlips
- Choosing the best yarns for long-lasting socks
- Troubleshooting common sock challenges
- Tips and techniques for confident sock knitting
Meeting over four weeks gives you the time to actually finish your socks with plenty of time for troubleshooting. You'll leave with a completed project, new skills, and the confidence to finally declare yourself “a sock knitter”.
Prerequisites: Students should be comfortable knitting in the round, reading a knitting pattern, and working with small circumferences. This is a skill-building class and is not intended for beginning knitters.
Designed for knitters using FlexiFlips or the Magic Loop method.
