Sock knitting certainly is addictive. This workshop is for knitters who have not knitted socks before and would like to learn the basic techniques. Knitters will be taught how to do the following: Knit in the round; Knit on DPNs; Knit the heel flap; Shape the heel; Work the gusset; Shape the gusset; Shape the toes; Grafting. Please note this workshop may well go on beyond 4pm to give all knitters the best chance to complete a sock of some sorts or just to learn all the techniques. Suzie Johnson is the tutor - a Hand Knit designer who specialises in accessories and home goods. Suzie was recently featured on television in Kirstie’s Homemade Home, teaching Kirstie Allsopp to knit. She also designed the title sequence for the show and has had some of her work featured in magazines. dates: see 'book online' below
