Sock Design Class - Replay Live Archive
Please join us for our monthly LIVE Knit-Club.
When knitting socks, we have lots of options. Let's explore the choices and all of the resources available at Knit it Now, including our updated patterns.
If you are a new knitter, stick with the basics, one color, short row toes and heels. As you gain confidence add other heel and toe methods and play with adding stitch patterns.
More experienced? Try seamless socks in the round with your ribber.
No matter what machine you have, you can knit socks!
