Stranded in Your Socks with Mary Scott Huff
Read Mary Scott Huff's bio here!
In this introduction to stranded colorwork for socks, we will learn the basic moves for handling two strands
at the same time, and what is special about the construction of stranded colorwork that's destined for feet.We will determine gauge by swatching in class, then begin work
on a stranded colorwork pattern sock top.
Skill
Level: Adventurous Beginner-Intermediate: Basic knitting skills; cast on, bind off, knit, purl, increase, decrease, knitting in the round.
Prior sock knitting experience is helpful, but not required. You need not have done
stranded colorwork before.
Materials to bring: Please bring 2 contrasting skeins of sock yarn (in the same weight) and your favorite sock needles (DPN, 2 circular, Magic Loop, etc.) to match. Aim for a gauge in the neighborhood of 7 sts/in on size 2 (2.75mm) needles. Gauge is approximate because stranding will change it as we work.
Homework: Determine a rough starting gauge by knitting a single-color stockinette swatch.
Material Fee: None
