Description
Stretchy bind-offs are crucial to sock wearability! In this class, you'll learn several great options for finishing your sock tops, including Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off, Elizabeth Zimmerman's Sewn Bind-Off, and several others. We'll also talk about ribbing choices and some tricks to perfect your finished project. 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.
