Classes

Afterthought Cuffs and Edgings

How to spiff up Plain Jane socks with a lace cuff, hot rod flame cuff, a ruffle, or a picot edging after the fact without compromising the stretch of the ribbing.  We will also reveal how to add a bit of edgy fun to a sock that will allow even those with the most conservative dress codes to have a great secret.  Because you will be practicing on 3” cuffs, you will get to sport an awesome wristband or two after class.

This class is a one hour wonder that repeats three times in each three hour block it is offered in.
Friday AM: 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00.
