Class: Toe Up Socks on Two Circular Needles

March 6, 13, and 20, 2010 (Saturdays) | 10:30 - 1:30 | $75

New to socks, or want to learn how to knit toe-up? Or want to learn the two-circular technique? This is the class for you!

During the three weeks of this class, a sock will be made using two circular needles, toe-up, with sport weight yarn.


Week one will be casting on, learning how to handle the circular needles, and knitting the toe (homework will include knitting the foot of the sock to the length you need).

Week two will be working the heel flap and turning the heel (homework will include knitting the leg to the length which you would like).

Week three will be continuing with your sock, the cuff, and binding off.


What you need to know how to do:
- cast on
- the knit stitch
- the purl stitch

What we'll teach you how to do:
- how to knit on circular needles
- basic sock construction
- how to knit socks

What materials are included:
- the pattern
- a skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport
- appropriate needles


Homework is required in this class, so be prepared to spend some time outside of class knitting!

Payment is required within 7 days of signing up for the class or within one week before the class begins (whichever comes first). All classes limited to five people unless otherwise stated. A minimum of 2 students is required for most classes to take place. If the minimum for a class is not reached within 48 hours of the class, we will cancel the class and contact you in regards to rescheduling or a refund. Individual classes/lessons available by request (prices may vary). Homework is required in most of our classes; we know that all of you have busy schedules but please be sure to allow time to finish the work needed for classes.
