The Art of the Toe-Up Sock Knitting

With Sock Knitter Extraordinaire, Sara Kalla

Join us for an immersive, two-session workshop where you’ll learn the efficient way to knit socks: Toe-Up. Knitting from the toe up allows you to try on your sock as you go, ensuring a perfect fit every time. Whether you want to focus on one sock at a time or tackle "Two-at-a-Time" to beat second-sock syndrome, Sara will walk you through each row with expert tips and tricks.

🧶 Skills Covered

·       Seamless Beginnings: Learn Jenny’s Magic Cast-On for a smooth, comfortable toe.

·       The Short Row Heel: Navigate a sleek, sturdy heel construction  

·       Reading Your Stitches: Gain the confidence to identify your place in a pattern and understand your fabric.

·       Custom Sizing: Use your shoe size to calculate dimensions for a comfortable fit.
