I just got the latest issue of Interweave Knits and there's a great article on knitting socks from the toe up using the Eastern cast on method. Knitting toe-up means you can try on the sock at any time during the knitting to get just the perfect fit. I'm going to knit one test sock to see if I can do it, and then I'd love to do a workshop on the process. Just let me know if you are interested and I can try to coordinate a time that would work for everyone. What I'd like to do is make it a Wednesday night class. Since I'm here til 8 on Wednesdays, and, to tell you the truth, I've been really, really underwhelmed with customers on those evenings, I'm just lonesome for some company.
So, since socks are a great summertime knitting project, not to mention a very portable project, let's get knittin' some socks! PLUS I've got some wonderful new Opal colors in as well as Panda Cotton (think cotton, bamboo and elastic), Fixation Solids and Spray Dyes, and Meilenweit cotton sock yarns that would be instantly wearable in summer. Class members would need to purchase the Summer 07 issue of Interweave Knits plus yarn and needles of suitable gauge. Remember, supplies purchased at the shop for a class are discounted 10%. Such a deal!
C'mon then, let's knit some socks from the toe up!!
