With toe up technique there is no need to worry about having enough yarn to finish the foot as can happen with cuff down socks. Just knit until the foot length pleases you and start the leg. Kitchener stitch/grafting for the toe is NOT required!
We will start by making a single miniature sample sock, to introduce you to toe up knitting. Then we discuss tips and tricks for knitting toe up socks two at a time, with hands on practice. You will leave with the skills you need to follow a pattern for full size toe up socks and a knowledge base of how to work them two at a time, if desired. You will also receive a take home pattern for a lady's toe up sock in fingering weight yarn that utilizes all techniques you will have learned.
Skills: Intermediate, you must be able to knit and purl in the round, be familiar with magic loop knitting, K2tog, P2tog, SSK and wrap and turn is an asset
Materials: Yarn and stitch markers are provided. You will need to bring a 4mm circular needle, 40"/100cm or longer with a smooth join and flexible cord, scissors and a yarn needle.
Lunch: Bring your own or visit one of Mahone Bay's restaurants.
