In this class, we will take an in-depth look at each section of socks (toes, feet, heels, legs and cuffs) -- in both toe-up and top-down constructions -- to teach you a wide variety of ways that you can tailor your socks to your taste and to your wearer’s feet. You will come away with a custom-made recipe for fingering weight socks and the know-how to get started. |
