The sock class has been a huge success and everyone is having a wonderful time. The students have completed (3) classes now,the first was the basic sock from head to toe, the second lace and the third was a watermelon sock. All have done fantastic work on their socks and have learned some interesting stitches. The next several classes are going to be a real challenge on your knitting skills and lots of fun.
Thought you would like to see what some of the students have done....
The first one above is a watermelon pattern using a basic Norling pattern and the second is called the Seduction Sock by Interweave working with the Old Norwegian cast on and RT (Right Twist) we used Luscious by Kollage for this sock.
