2 at a Time Socks

Learn how to knit two socks at a time, toe up or cuff down, with this basic sock formula that works with any size yarn and for any sized foot.  The heel is worked using Cat Bordhi's Sweet Tomato Heel technique that takes all the guesswork out of creating a well fitted heel.

Skills Needed: must be able to cast on, knit, purl, bind off and be comfortable working in the round

Supplies: (1) 100g skein sock yarn (can substitute any weight from Fingering to Chunky - DK weight and heavier yarns will require a second skein) divided into two equal balls, US 1 40" circular (or size to obtain a firmly knit fabric), 8 stitch markers (optional) & darning needle.  Complete a gauge swatch in the round prior to class.

Sideways Shawlette with Sivia Harding

In this class, we create a wide, shallow crescent of garter or stockinette stitch and ornament it with a lovely lace edging of your choice. We learn the simple structure of side to side crescents, and all about lace edgings, which traditionally have been used as an alternative to binding off shawl edges. Charting will be discussed but it will expedite matters to have chosen an edging that is already charted. We will also discuss using beads to add dimension to your lace design. This class is a no-fail, easy introduction to lace design!
