Name
Sock Skills: Casting On for Toe-Up Socks
Date
Thursday, October 15, 2020
Time
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (EDT)
Description
Knitting socks from the toe up is a simple way to make socks without referring to a pattern, counting or measuring. In this class, you'll learn Judy's Magic Cast On for toe-up socks, learning to cast on for one sock, then extending the technique so you can work two at the same time. We'll cover several different options for increasing through the toe area as well as how to know when it's time to stop increasing. Note: This class can be taken on its own as a standalone class, or combined with my two other Sock Skills classes for a complete experience of the skills you need to knit toe-up socks.
