  • Instructor: Molly Wade
  • Class Fee: $35.00(with a 20% discount on materials)

You Will Need:
  • Sock Yarn- center pull ball(we'll pull from both ends, or you may split into 2 seperate balls)
  • Size 2 circular needle with at least 40" cable

You Will Learn:
  • Judy's Magic Cast-On

It's helpful if you already know:
  • Cast-On
  • Bind-Off

  • Basic sock anatomy

Learn the easiest, fastest and most fun way to make your socks: two-at-a-time! Try them on as you go for the perfect fit. Plus, you will never run out of yarn again. I love to knit toe-up socks, and the two-at-a-time method insures that you will never again face the dreaded "Second Sock Syndrome".

Knitting Machine Demonstrations

On November 19th, Beckie Scheel did a free knitting machine demonstration. She has published several patterns for knitting machines, and she used to travel around the country teaching on them.

Meet Beckie
