Socks 101
If you have never knit socks before,
this is the place to begin. Begin by 
mastering knitting in the round 
with dp needles 
        Basic Socks -cuff & leg 
        Basic Socks -heel 
        Basic Socks -Grafting
Socks from the Toe Up

Master the generic anatomy and techniques in this 2-hour class, in which you will knit a miniature sock. Practice on the real thing and join our other sock adventures:
 
 
 
 

"Udderly" Simple Socks 

on 2 circulars

If you have knit socks before and are ready for some variety in your sock life, this is a perfect class for you. The name of this class was inspired by a Cat Bhordi story which Mary Pat will relate as she guides you through her favourite sock knitting.
 
 

Practice with Double Points:
If these are your first time socks, you will appreciate a second evening to get comfortable with your double points before turning the heel.  You may even be able to complete your second cuff to the point of beginning the heel. 
Next week , two heels in quick succession will make you a confident heel knitter.
 
 

Comparative Grafting 
Sock knitters are constantly seeking the ideal grafting method. In this class,  Mary Pat and Patrick will share their favourites…. both different from Gloria's method taught in Socks 101.

Helix sock
When fascinating design meets practical & economical use of materials, you have a winner. 
This sock is destined to become your new favourite! It uses an odd number of different coloured yarns  (in class you will begin with 3) to produce subtly striped socks with no jog at the joins. 
 

 

Magic Loop 
Knit a babies Tube Sock  using this technique to knit 
even tiny things in the round on one long circular needle. 
Heels: a World View
All around the world and over the centuries, man has dealt with the balance of movement and warmth. Sock knitters, as the museums attest, satisfied this need very early in our history, with well shaped heels. See heels from different times and places and plan to add them to your repertoire in Diane’s project class in November.
