A bag of tricks for stretch and strength
Have you fallen in love with a yarn, only now to discover that it may not be the best choice for socks? Or maybe you’ve already used the right yarns but fear saggy cuffs and thin soles? With a little work up front, we still may be able to make your sock dreams come true. In this workshop, you’ll learn simple but extremely effective techniques for overcoming sock yarn shortcomings and keeping your socks strong and stretchy every time. From ribbing and increases to cuffs and toes, you’ll come away with a set of tricks you can put to good use every time you knit socks.
