There is a great workshop coming on October 10th & 11th with Wendy Johnson and her toe-up sok techniques at Sip & Knit, Inc. contact the store for further details and to sign up. I suggest you do this quickly due to class size limitations and the high demand for these classes.

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!!

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!!

Still Time To Get In On The Sock Class

I have had inquires from clients asking if it was to late to get in on the sock class, well if you know me then you know it is never to late. If you can make it to General Help before Sunday you can still make the sock class. Just call me or email me at my gmail address on the sidebar!!

I hope all of you who would like to join come on in, socks are a blast to knit!! See you soon!!

My wee tiny sock!!

I have received my sock and it is so cute!! I love the colors. The picture will be up by the weekend. I still need my 12 year old Son Alex to help me!!

It was sent to me by Renna and her blog is Finding My Knitch

I cant wait to share it with everyone this week at my General Help Group. I know a few people who are waiting to see what I received!! Renna tells me this was made with Yarn Pirate colorway Earth and Ocean

Wee tiny sock 2008

wee tiny sock
This was my first time on the wee tiny sock swap!! I have been having so much fun knitting these little gems. I have decided that for every pair of socks I make for myself I will make a tiny one to wear on my purse!! I think I have convinced other sock knitters at my group to do the same.
I hope my sock pal likes this and I am sure she has gotten it already!!
