Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sock Construction w/ Amanda Jones

This workshop is part of our Mill Open Weekend celebrations.

Knitting socks is an absolute joy. A small, portable project that allows you to be adventurous with colourwork, construction, and design. But with a wealth of patterns and information out there, and so many different ways to construct your project, it can feel a little daunting…

During this class with Amanda Jones, you’ll be knitting the sweetest mini-sock to take home with you, incorporating all the different stages of sock-making.

Amanda will be there to hold your hand through every step of top-down construction. Once you have knit your first sock you will be knitting them for all your friends and family, they really are that addictive! We can’t wait to soak up all of Amanda’s knowledge and level-up our sock knitting skills. See Eventbrite for full class description.
