Sock Class Progress - tadaa!!!

Well sock class has officially ended!! Everyone did GREAT!! Everyone finished at least one full sock cuff to toe!!! That is fantastic! I think everyone has the second sock in progress and since doing the toe and putting it on we all have the ambition to finish the second one!!

I want to thank everyone for being such great students. Socks are a big commitment for a weekly class. Each week we needed to knit to the next section and that was a big push but everyone did it!!

We took a vote and there will be a 1 day Specialty Class on June 22nd at 1:30 - 4:00 for $20.00 This class will be a Gusset Pickup Class. We will be going over the gusset pickup and the decreasing. Bring as many socks in progress as possible. If you have not taken this last class and want a gusset pickup and decrease refresher please email for sign up info. If you have taken the class just show up.

Don't forget to bring any finished socks. We will be taking pictures to post here on the blog.

Thanks for a great month and I can't wait to see you all again!!

Last Call for Class Suggestions

To respond to everyone!! I know I have to get my butt in gear!! I am sending out an S O S I need suggestions for knit-a-longs. I was thinking of smaller projects that take 2-4 sessions so the cost will be reasonable. So far the contenders are as follows:

Continental Knitting

This would be a learn to knit continental for people who knit already. We would do a project that focused on first the knit stitch then the purl stitch.

Afghan Squares

This would be a knit-a-long containing a few types of squares then a last class to assemble

Socks on Circulars

This would be a class for all who know how to knit socks on dpns but want to try a new style of circular knitting. This will also benefit those who want to try it for the sock club Buckeyes Booties

I was leaning toward scheduling these on Wednesday evening which would mean no General Help Class on that particular Wednesday.

Please let me know your thoughts. The sooner the better. I want everyone interested to have a fair chance to attend.

Sock Class Progress

This is everyone from the class holding thier sock!! I know the picture is not the best quality but I figure it is better than nothing!!

This is known as Socks in the Round (get it!!)

This is my sock I know I posted the picture up side down:)

Well we are really making progress in the sock class. So far we have cast on 4dpns and became very comfortable knitting in the round on dpns. Last weekwe knitted the heel flap and turned the heel . This week we tackled the gusset pick up and decrease!! I am so proud of everyone. Socks are small and require new skills for most people. Some of you didn't know if you could do it but I hope you feel more confident now because all of you are doing so well!!

Thank you for a FABULOUS APRIL

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all who have been attending class this last month! The workshops have been so much fun!!

Hopefully, for those of you who can, there will be photos of completed projects from class. Just email them to me or come in when class is in session and I will take a picture. I have the camera issue solved!!!

Due to the chaotic May schedule and Mothers' Day and Memorial Day thrown into the mix workshops will most likely start in June. Look for a Knit-along on Wed. evenings. Those who know me know the summer is a great time for me break from weekend only workshops!! Suggestions are welcome. Just post as a comment or email me!!

Again thanks for the great month and I hope to see you all soon!!
