Socks Tips & Tricks
About Socks Tips & Tricks
You’ve worked a few socks, now it’s time to expand your skills a bit. In this class you’ll learn how to determine size and fit needs, how to choose a good yarn and reinforce for longevity. We’ll address the tricky bits like how to avoid holes at the top of your heel, how to get a tidy gusset pick up, and special cast ons and bind offs. We’ll talk about both toe up and top down socks, and discuss different heel and toe constructions and when to choose one over another. I’ll take time to answer questions.
