Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sock Knitting Workshop
Early Bird Offer - 20% off - Was £95 Now £76 - Offer valid until 4th June 2024
Do you love wearing hand knitted socks but don’t have enough time to make them for everyday of the week! Come learn a new way to knit socks. Begin with a pre prepared knitted sock tube and learn to an afterthought heel, toe and cuff. An afterthought heel is quite different to the usual heel flap and gusset, but nonetheless is a perfect fit.
There are so many ways to knit a sock. This one takes all the work out of knitting the main body of the sock, and is a lot of fun. Your sock draw will be filled in no time!
You will choose a hand dyed knitted sock tube that’s been cranked on a sock knitting machine using Ivy & Lilly yarn. This yarn is perfect for socks, machine washable super soft merino & nylon mix. There will be many colours to choose from on the day, including contrast colours for heels and toes and cuffs.
A full days workshop where you will learn new skills:-
- How to use a 9” small circumference Sock Needle - this will take practice and an open mind to learn this skill.
- Remove waste yarn, pick up stitches, add knitted toe and 1 x 1 rib for cuff.with stretchy bind off
- Measuring and working your own foot size.
- Cutting the sock tube and insert an afterthought heel into the correct place
- Work extra stitches into each side of the heel so no gap is left.
- Kitchener stitch up your toe
You will complete one sock, we may not finish the other, but you will leave with comprehensive workshop notes to help you complete the other.
Included in the price is:
- Unique colour way knitted sock tube for a pair of socks + contrast yarn for Heels, Toes + Cuff
*Opportunity to purchase additional tubes at a special workshop price on the day
- Project Bag includes scissors, tape measure, 5 x stitch markers, tapestry needle, set of 5 DPN’S double pointed needle size 2.50mm, 9” Addi circular Sock Needle 2.50mm
