Welcome to the AfterThought Everything Sock Workshop taught by Alissa Barton and Mary Berry.
What is an AfterThought Everything Sock? We will crank a skein of your yarn into a long tube. You will learn how to insert heels, toes and add a cuff into into your sock tube.
Workshop Schedule:
Friday, June 6th
5pm-9pm – join us for light bites as we learn to crank our socks using the Circular Sock Machine. Mary Berry will walk you through the process as you learn to make your own sock tube.
***BONUS! Bring a 4x4 swatch knitted in a worsted weight yarn and a size 7 or 8 needle to practice picking up stitches using larger yarn before Saturday morning!***
