Socks! with Amy Arnold
This class will teach how to take a sock tube and turn it into a wearable pair of socks!
The focus of the class is how to decide where to place your afterthought heel; how to pick up the stitches for the heel; how to cut the tube to place heel and separating for the toe/ second sock.
You will not walk out of the class with a finished pair of socks, but you will have all the skills necessary to finish them at home; step by step instructions will help you.
Level: Adventerous Beginner - Need to know how to complete the knit stitch, k2tog and purl stitches.
Ages: 12+
Materials Fee: Sock tube kit is $45.00 and provides the sock tube and a mini skein in a contrasting color to knit the heel, toes and cuff.

Instructor Bio
I'm Amy and I'm the dyer behind On A Dime Yarn Co. I'm also known as CrazyCraftyMommaKnits on Instagram. I love all things crafty, but knitting has taken first place. I have been knitting for 3 years. My favorite things to knit are brioche, lace, color work and cables. Basic stockinette drives me bonkers! I have made over 100 pairs of socks since I've started knitting with at least a quarter of them being made from sock tubes. I am always learning new things and love teaching others.
