Classes!
I’m not sure I really blogged about this sock back when I knit it. I knit it while on “vacation” in October. It was my break from all the deadline knitting and spinning I was doing. But, because there was plenty deadline stuff waiting at home it meant I haven’t even started sock 2 yet! But, that works in my favor now. Why? Because now I have a class sample sock and a sock to work on in a class.
Due to the high demand for more sock classes at My Sister Knits I am teaching a last minute addition to the class line up on Saturday morning. It is the Jeweled Steps sock from Cat Bordhi’s New Pathways for Sock Knitters Book One (p 106). Because we need to get down the figure-8 cast on and get enough toe knit to measure both stitch and row gauge, the first class is 3 hours and runs from 9am to noon. The following two weeks will only run until 11am.
In the class you’ll learn:
- The Bordhi sidestream architecture, including using the master tables and doing any calculations
- The figure-8 cast on
- Bordhi’s preferred increase of LRinc and LLinc
- Bordhi’s no stitch pick-up heel
- EZ’s sewn bind off
You’ll need ~400 yards of fingering weight sock yarn, two circulars in size needed to obtain 8 sts/in (preferably of two different lengths between 16 and 24 inches), 4 unique stitch markers, row marker, tape measure, gauge measure, tapestry needle, pen or pencil, and a calculator if desired.
The class is $75. We meet March 1st from 9am-noon, March 8th from 9am-11am, and March 15th from 9am-11am. You can reserve a space by calling the store at (970) 407-1461. The last I knew there were only two slots left, but I thought I’d let any Fort Collins area lurkers know. Don’t worry, this won’t be my last class. I’ll be teaching some of my designs there come late spring and summer.
Speaking of my designs, you can now get print versions of *all* of my patterns at My Sister Knits! And there are a few more places coming soon!
