Just as it sounds- we will be knitting a tiny sample sized sock... from the toe up! During this class we will cast on at the toe, knit the foot, turn the heel, knit the cuff and cast off at the top all while discussing the benefits of knitting a sock in the opposite direction! You will come out of this class with a tiny sock- perfect for baby gifts or add a ribbon and use it as a decoration or ornament!

With Easter just around the corner, we have put together a fun festive class that teaches you the basics of needle felting while making a themed decoration! Needle felting is the art of using unspun wool rovings, barbed needles and foam to create all kinds of unique pieces! This technique involves no knitting knowledge whatsoever so it is great for anyone interested in fiber arts. You will leave the class with at least one mini decorative egg- more if you catch on quickly! All you need to bring is an open mind and some creativity!
