In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamental techniques needed to knit miniature socks, which serve as an excellent foundation for understanding sock construction in larger projects. Key techniques covered will include Judy's Magic Cast On, a popular method for starting seamless toe-up socks; the Afterthought Heel, which allows for easy heel placement and knitting; and the Kitchener Stitch, a seamless way to graft live stitches together. This class will guide you through each step, ensuring you understand how to apply these techniques to both mini prototypes and full-sized socks.
