Sock Woes: Getting out of a Mess
How many socks are languishing because you’re stuck or can’t face the fix? Dig them up and bring them to class! Show up with your worst messes and leave with a sock that is back in progress (and probably some chocolate… we are very supportive and know some fixes seem scary). We’ll be picking up stitches, looking at ladders, examining wonky stitches, repairing holes, discussing how to care for socks and finding creative solutions that will fix that sock! Find out what kind of fixes YOU are most comfortable with in your work so that you are the boss of your sock knitting even after you leave class!
