Name
Sock Skills: Afterthought Heels
Date
Thursday, October 15, 2020
Time
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (EDT)
Description
In this class you will learn the simplest and perhaps most ideal sock heel for two-at-a-time toe-up socks: the afterthought heel. We will cover the beforethought-afterthought heel, as well as the true afterthought heel, including decreasing and several different ways to close the heel. We'll also demystify the Kitchener stitch! 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.
