Keys to Self-Striping Success
For most sock knitters, that first ball of self-striping yarn was the gateway to a new world of obsession. In this one hour wonder, you’ll pick up a few secrets and tips that will ensure you use the yarn to its full potential. We will discuss strategies for creating matching (or purposely non-matching!) socks, creating smooth transitions between sock elements, and how the yarn itself can be used as a measuring tool. This class would be a great excuse for a trip to the Sock Summit marketplace!
