Crystal Heels - Afterthoughts with a shape that fits!
(As seen in “Hot Waves” from The Joy of Sox.) Many knitters say they don’t like the fit of Afterthought Heels. Just as there are many ways to shape a toe, there is more than one Afterthought Heel. Spend time with LynnH to discover why the Crystal Afterthought Heel - less pointy, with more width and depth - is her favorite heel. This unusual shaping method really fits.
This class is a one hour wonder that repeats three times in each 3 hour block it is offered in.
