My First Sock (On DPNs)

Come learn the fundamentals of sock knitting while completing an adorable mini-sock on double pointed needles.  If you like to learn techniques in the traditional way first or if you already knit socks on two circulars but want to give DPNs a go, then come join us.  You will learn to knit a basic sock and we will talk about how the techniques you learn can be used to knit socks of all sizes.  We will also turn your mini-sock into a charming accessory to wow your friends at the Sock Summit.  Come on, try it…  All your friends are doing it….
