Sock it to Me: Techniques for Sock Knitting Workshop
Tuesday, September 24, 2024 @ 6:30-9:30PM

At Wild Hand in Philadelphia, PA.

Love knitting but intimidated by the detail and contour of socks? Learn simple shaping techniques that can be applied to any sock pattern, tricks for reinforcing heavy-wear areas, and how to combine the best yarn, pattern and needles to make top-down socks for any season. In this workshop we’ll knit a Mini Sock that covers all of the techniques you’ll need for knitting full size socks, including:

• Working in the round on Double Pointed Needles.
• Elastic cast ons and cuffs.
• Turning the heel.
• Tapering the toe.
• Reinforcing techniques for heel and sole.

During the workshop we will also discuss selecting the best yarn for durability, stretch, and pattern type; sizing and fitting; care and repair.
