Brighten up your holidays and learn a new skill with our Knit a Festive Sock Ornament course! See the details below and sign up by Wednesday, November 26th to help ensure a spot.

Knit a Festive Sock Ornament***
Instructor: Nicole Smith
Course #15
Festive sock ornaments are a fun way to learn how to knit a sock - the larger yarn and fewer rows allow you to master the techniques without the pressure of needing to knit a second sock that will match! Choose from three pattern options - a single color (focus on learning how to construct a sock), a striped sock (learn how to switch between colors, one per row), or a colorwork pattern (learn stranded colorwork, two colors on the same row).

Ideally you should know how to knit, purl and decrease before taking this class.

Materials: Yarn and a set of double pointed needles (DPNs), I recommend worsted weight #4 yarn and size 6 DPNs
Location: J.R. Lowell Library, 123 Lowell Ave.
3 Wednesdays, December 3-December 17
7:30 PM-9:00 PM $60
$48 with senior discount
