Thrumming
Hand knitters have been doing this technique for years to create a liner in their mittens or socks, come see how easy it is to do this technique on a sock machine.
Basic sock start to finish
Come see how to make a hug hem sock from start to finish, learning many tips along the way. I will cover Kitchener stitch along with other tips.
Mittens
Let’s make mittens from start to finish. Will include double mittens, regular mittens and thumb gusset.
Lace work
Let’s make some holes to make some lovely lace designs. It is fun to purposely make holes to create these designs
Christmas socks
Learn some great ways to make Christmas socks and the many ways to decorate them
Cables
Learn so interesting ways to do cables, including cables without transferring a stitch.
Decorative stitches
I will go over the decorative stitches that are in most manuals. They are sometimes hard to understand so I will have some of them reworded so they are easier to understand and do.
Fingerless gloves
I have a simple pattern that everyone can do, beginner to advanced. You can put cables or decorative stitches or maybe some lace on them.
