Have you made a pair of socks and then thought, “these are great, but could they be better?” There are so many ways to make heels and toes to fit every kind of foot. In this series of classes you will learn new heel and toe techniques you can mix and match to create a custom-fit sock. Each skill is a stand-alone class. Pick which classes you would like, or take them all! 

These classes are designed to either be incorporated into socks in progress or as heel and toe samples for the benefit of quickly learning the skill.

All classes are held on Saturdays, 1:00 to 3:00pm. Sign up for two or more sessions at the same time and save 10%!
