Learn to knit socks! If you're an intermediate knitter looking to tackle more complex projects, this workshop is for you!
In this three-part workshop, we'll work through the Shorty Sock by Summer Lee Design Co. (the Basic B version). You will learn how to:
- Use the magic loop knitting technique
- Make a heel flap and turn the heel
- Pick up stitches
- Shape with decreases
- Grafting using Kitchener Stitch
- Follow a sock pattern
Due to the slow nature of knitting, you likely will not finish the sock during class hours. However, we will cover all of the trickiest parts, and you'll be well-prepared to finish on your own! Please note that this class moves at a fast pace and is the most advanced knitting class that we offer. Please call or email the shop if you aren't sure if this class is right for you.
This is an advanced level knitting workshop. We also encourage you to take at least one Knitting 101, 102, and 103 class before taking this class or have equivalent experience. We also recommend that you come into class having using DK weight or smaller yarn on at least one project.
This is three-part workshop taking place on the following dates:
- Thursday 2/27 6:30-8:30pm
- Thursday 3/6 6pm-7pm
- Thursday 3/13 6:30-8:30pm
**You will be assigned knitting homework to complete between sessions!**

Meet Your Instructor
Kristin Parker (she/her) is a queer fiber artist currently living on Lenape/Canarsee territory in now-called Brooklyn. Her work centers around interdependence, repair, and connection. Kristin has been knitting for over 25 years and is particularly passionate about knitting socks as well as stranded color work using local fiber. She teaches knitting all over the city in both class formats as well as one-on-ones. Her writing about knitting has been published in Hudson Valley Textile Project’s publication Common Threads. Kristin is also very involved in the Fibershed movement and is co-leading the expansion of the New York Fibershed with NY Textile Lab. Though knitting is Kristin’s main squeeze she also adores spinning her own yarn, visible mending, natural dyeing, sewing, and dabbling in many other crafts. She is also an organizer with SURJ NYC, focusing on Indigenous Solidarity work. Connect with her at @kpmadethings on instagram.
