Capture the Flag Sockalong

Capture the Flag Sockalong

 

When:          

September 14 – October 5, 2024

 

What:           

Capture the Flag is a fun sock pattern that uses techniques like top down sock knitting, stranded colorwork knitting, heel flap, small circumference knitting (Shorties, double pointed needles, magic loop, or two long circulars), and more. Experience with knitting is required, and the rest you will learn in the along. There will be homework in between each meeting that we hope you can try your best to complete. If you choose not to do the colorwork, we can help you improvise with stripes or solid.

 

Yarn:            

The pattern calls for Berroco Vintage Sock, but just about any of our sock yarns will work. You will need 3 colors. We also have a nice selection of minis for the colorwork.

                    

Cost:             

Since this is going to be more informative and have more teaching moments than other alongs, there will be a small fee of $10 to join. Also, as with all classes and alongs, you must purchase your yarn from us specifically for this KAL in order to join.

 

Meetings:      

We will meet three times for us to help you with any questions or problems you may be having! Before the first meeting, please have your sock cast on and the cuff knit. All meetings are from 10a-12p:

                     Sat, Sep 14 – jump into colorwork

                     Sat, Sep 28 – learn how to knit the flap

                     Sat, Oct 5 – finish the toe

 

 

We will post any tips we come across in our Facebook Group “Threadbender Yarn Shop –Alongs”. And we encourage everyone to share pictures and questions.
