Description:
Intimidated by knitted socks? Learn to make simply easy crochet socks from the Toe up. Use your favorite sock yarn and learn a new stitch to create a softer fabric with toes and heels that are a bit heavier to prevent wearing out quickly. They are made in one piece with just 2 ends per sock to weave in. We will also work both socks together to help prevent 1 sock syndrome!

Class will be broken up in to two parts: Week 1: Creating the toe and foot; Week 2: Turning the heel, leg and cuff.


Supplies Needed:

350 yards of your favorite sock yarn - Divided into 2 balls
Size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook, or size needed for gauge

[muscidae]

Missed the first one, too! I have to write this one down!
Woooo!

[JoviMom]

Hope to see you all in the class! It will be lots of fun! :)

[dreamtime1]

when can we expect registration to begin?

[nicolep]

when can we expect registration to begin?

Usually the month of the class. Since it's so early in the month, it will likely be a week before or so.

[JoviMom]

Usually they open registration about 2 weeks before.. so probably the end of August start looking for information!

[theluckielizard]

Woooohoooo....I am looking forward to this class.

[JoviMom]

I am too! It is such a fun class to teach!:hook:crocheting:manyheart

Happy crocheting,

Can someone tell me, are socks hard to do? I think I am an advanced beginner (I am just afraid to try something new), and I would like to learn socks.

Thanks!

Debra -

This is a beginner sock class. If you can single crochet, Double crochet and work in the round.. you can definitely do this sock class!

Linda

[debra way]

Thanks! I think I will sign up!

[KER828]

I'm definitely doing this - can't wait to sign up!

[JoviMom]

YAY! I am glad everyone is excited about this class. I didnt teach this one at the Summit.. so if you took my classes there, this will be different!

[granny26]

I'm looking forward to this class - I've been thinking of making socks, but was a little intimidated. I'll check back soon for registration!

[KER828]

Yikes hope there is not a limit of participants - I can't sign up til 8-31 (Payday!) Crossing my fingers!!

YAY! I am excited to hear that!

[grammyjel]

I am new to crocheting any kind of socks - exactly what kind of yarn is needed? Something by Red Heart?

[JoviMom]

Red Heart does not at this time have yarn that will work for this class. You will need to get something like Patons Stretch Socks, Bernat Sox Patons Kroy sock yarn or go to your LYS and pick up a sock yarn like Malabrigo, Pagewood Farms, Regia... etc...

Does that help?

[grammyjel]

Yes, that does help - thanks!

[nicolep]

Red Heart does have a sock yarn that's super fine weight.

Why wouldn't that work?

[grammyjel]

Okay, here's another dumb question - what is the equivalent between yards & grams?

Nope.. It is thicker than most sock yarns...

[JoviMom]

Okay, here's another dumb question - what is the equivalent between yards & grams?


There isnt an equivalent.. Different yarns are different weight even if the yardage is the same...

You will need to go with Yards for this class.

[nicolep]

Okey pokey...

[nicolep]

All righty, I'm all signed up! Now the waiting beings...

[HappyOldCro]

Had to get new camera, old one died. So I am afraid I will have to miss this class, again.
Budget just won't allow it. Looking forward to seeing everyone's socks though, so have fun you all!!!

[Scorpio59]

About how many people do you have signed up?

[JoviMom]

About how many people do you have signed up?


Im not sure! If it isnt closed I know the class hasnt maxed out...

[Scorpio59]

I'm registered! And I found extra money in my Paypal account to cover the cost of the class :clap The yarn is also ordered and should be here in time or just a hair late. I'm psyched!

YAY! I know it is going to be a great Class!

[Scorpio59]

Is there a gauge that we could work up in advance to make sure our hook size is correct before we start? My yarn is supposed to arrive today- it's on the UPS truck and I might want to play later tonight.

[Scorpio59]

Got my yarn, got my hook- ready to rumble!

[nicolep]

I had my yarn out....was going to split it into two balls so I could make both socks, but I'm not sure how I'm going to know when I have it split in half. :sigh Might end up buying anothe skein to make it easier on me. :devil

Hi, I just found this website. I was hoping to join the toe up sock class, but when I go to register, it isn't listed. Did I find you too late?

I just checked. I guess the registration is now closed for my class. I am sorry.

Keep watching though! I will be teaching the class again. It is one of my most popular!

Great because I totally forgot to register while on vacation and missed it!

[arielart]

I forgot to register too. That's what I get for not putting it on my calendar and trusting my memory. Karen, do you think yo will have another session of this class in the future?

[JoviMom]

With all the interest.. I cannot see why not! :) Probably not unti 2010 though!

[arielart]

I would love to take it much sooner if there is enough interest! :) Maybe you would consider it if your schedule permits it?
