Saturday: Top Down Sock Design
For intermediate to advanced sock knitters interested in a hands-on approach to designing their own socks. Students can bring in stitch patterns or choose stitch patterns from books during class. We will go over key calculations that need to be made for a standard top down sock using the students' chosen stitch patterns. Handouts and worksheets will be provided, so students can easily calculate stitch counts. By the end of this class, students should have a good start on their very own sock, and the necessary tools to complete the sock on their own.

Sunday: Traveling Stitches
Learn how to add curves and angles to your knitting by using traveling stitches. We will go over the different methods for making stitches travel, affects on the fabric, and how to incorporate traveling stitches into a basic knitting pattern.
