Choose Your Own Adventure Socks

Event description

This workshop is designed by Pru Raymond to guide knitters through a series of choices to plot their own sock adventure: cuff down or toe up? Afterthought heel or short rows? What toe shaping and bind off should you choose? At the end of the workshop, participants will write a personalised ‘sock story’ to guide future sock knitting adventures. All workshop attendees can enjoy a 10% discount on all purchases in-store at PAPER SCISSORS WOOL on the day of the workshop.
