Thicksgiving Socks
Come learn to make socks the easy way with Rachel! In this sock class, you'll learn the basics while making a pair of giftable socks on larger needles than a typical sock.
Students will have the choice of using a worsted/DK weight yarn or using fingering weight yarns in different colors held together to create the "marled" look achieved in Summer Lee's photos.
