"Learn to Knit Tough Vermont Socks" Session 1 – Sarah Merriman
Learn to knit tough Vermont socks that fit well and are quick projects. Over two, two-hour classes, we will knit toe-up socks with worsted-weight yarn and create patterns for all the feet of your family and friends, even those who live far away.
Class 1 (Thursday, March 19 at Town Hall, 6:00-8:00 PM): Creating a cardboard foot template, Magic Loop, Judy's Magic Cast On, flawless increasing. You will knit the foot up to the heel at home.
Class 2 (Thursday, April 2 at Town Hall, 6:00-8:00 PM): the Fish Lips Kiss Heel - with trick for preventing holes - a short ribbed leg and Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off.
You will need to bring the following: worsted-weight yarn, a size 4 circular needle that's 32" to 40" (Yarn in Waterbury - in the Village Market complex - sells awesome and affordable ones with excellent points made by ChiaGoo. They also can recommend a good yarn. Go figure.), a stitch holder to hold 20 worsted weight stitches, and a piece of cardboard from the back of a legal pad. Stitch markers help, but we can always use paper clips or waste yarn.
After this class, you will be able to knit any sock in any weight of yarn by simply adjusting the math - EEEP! Next to washcloths, homemade socks are the #1 requested knitted items I know.
