KNITTING SOCKS ON TWO CIRCULAR NEEDLES!

Are you interested in learning how to knit socks on ‘Two Circular Needles”?  Looking for something to do on a Saturday morning for an hour.

If you know how to knit - garter stitch & purl stitch and how to cast on stitches - then you are good to learn how to make these socks. 

Sock

Please join us on the following dates in the Parlour at the church:

 

1.    Saturday March 4th at 9:00 - 10:00 am

2.    Saturday March 11th at 9:00 - 10:00 am

3.    If needed Saturday April 1st at 9:00 - 11:30 am

4.    Saturday April 8th at 9:00 - 10:00 am

What you need to bring:

 

1.    Two circular needles - Recommended Sizes:  2.5mm or 2.75mm -  length 16 or 24 inches - preferably metal tips.  These can be purchased at Lens Mill or Shall We Knit or Michaels. (Shown in the picture is 2.5mm - 24 inches length and metal tips)

Needles

2.    Three balls of sock wool - preferable Patons Kroy Socks - two patterned - 1 plain that goes with the pattern (see picture). I don’t recommend that you get a striped pattern for your first pair of socks.  This wool can be purchased at Lens Mill for $7.49 per ball or Michaels for $7.99 per ball.  This wool is 75% washable wool and 25% nylon - which makes durable machine washable socks.

Yarn

3.     Bring a bottle of a brightly coloured nail polish.

4.     Blank sheet of paper - 8 1/2 x 11 and a pen.

5.     A pair of scissors and a darning needle.

 

I look forward to teaching you something that I love to do.
