Intro to Knitting Socks

As we get into the height of the summer, come learn to knit a pair of socks, so you can keep knitting without the weight of a blanket or sweater on your lap. Small knitting pieces are also perfect for take-along knitting and easily fit into your bag or purse. Michelle will lead you in how to get from yarn ball to sock in three classes held over the course of five weeks. Sign up and get 10% off the supplies you need for the class in store.
