My First Sock (On Two Circulars)

Come learn the fundamentals of sock knitting while completing an adorable mini-sock!  If you can cast on, knit, and count a little past ten, then you’ve got what it takes to knit socks on two circular needles - even if you have never knit a sock before.  If you are a seasoned sock knitter who just wants to give it a go on two circulars, we promise to keep you entertained while you learn how to transition to this method.  We will complete the aforementioned adorable mini-sock in class and talk about how the method that you’ve learned can be used to knit socks of all sizes.  Oh, and we’ll even do something fun with the mini-sock to turn it into a great little accessory that just might be the envy of your Sock Summit friends!
