Tiny Blue Sock Class
Learn sock knitting without the commitment.
Have you always wanted to make a pair of socks but felt overwhelmed by the prospect? Are you a strong beginner who can knit and purl well? Then you can make a sock!
In this class we will cover all the techniques needed to create a sock: knitting in the round, dividing for the heel, making a heel flap, doing the oft feared turning of the heel, heel gussets, and finally the toe.
The plan is for you to leave with a tiny sock and the confidence to make the dreaded second sock. Do not fall victim to that particular knitting curse!

Project ER
Ack! Where was I? How did I get here? Why do I have 3 needles, strange stitches, holes, a sock that is not socking? What do I do now?
Bring in that pesky project that has been causing you grief and self-doubt.
Project ER is an open, supportive troubleshooting circle where we untangle problems together. whether you are stuck mid-pattern or simply unsure what went wrong, this is a space to pause, assess, and get back on track.
No lectures, No pressure. Just practical help. Because sometimes yarn needs a calm room and another set of eyes.
