Toe-up Sock Workshop: “Utsubo Sock” by Chiharu Nagase
Teacher: Sammy Kay
Cost: $125
When: Thursdays, March 5, 19 & 26, 6:00–8:00pm
Description: Want to knit your first pair of socks? Having trouble making socks that fit? Learn to knit a charming pair of socks from the toes up! The Utsubo (“Moray Eel”) Sock, designed by Chiharu Nagase, is a great project for dipping your toes (sorry) into the world of sock making. In this hands-on class you’ll gain experience in small-circumference knitting and learn multiple techniques, including the toe-up cast-on and heel turn, increases and decreases, German short rows, and the i-cord bind-off. These socks use very little yarn and result in a comfortable, ankle-height set that you or a loved one is sure to enjoy!
Prerequisites: Participants should have basic knitting skills, including knitting in the round.
Homework: None.
Min/max number of participants: 4/8
