Bath Branch – Splendid Socks! – 10 February 2024
10 February @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Our very talented Ian will be sharing his expertise in knitting toe-up socks.
You will need Aran or worsted weight yarn and the appropriate size of circular needles or DPNs (6mm plus). You might also find it useful to bring a few stitch markers.
To whet your appetite, you can see two of Ian’s finished projects in Ravelry:

Ian also says that his pattern uses a few techniques that it might be useful to know in advance:
- Judy’s Magic Cast-on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pmxRDZ-cwo
- Lace Bind-Off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl9B5imC1uU
If you’re coming to this session, please email Armelle to ask for a copy of the PDF handout. The handout includes the pattern and the above links.
Please bring your copy of the handout (either print it or download it to your mobile device), along with your chosen yarn and needles.
