Sock it to me!
Hand-made gifts are perfect for the holiday season, or any gift-giving moment. These retro-inspired slipper socks make a great gift for friends, family, teachers, or office mates.
They're also the perfect project for learning how to knit socks! In this self-paced e-course, instructor Vickie Howell will show you how to negotiate double-pointed needles, knit a reinforced heel, turn a heel gusset, work basic, stranded color-work, shape and graft a toe, and finish a slipper sock. You'll learn everything you need to successfully finish a pair!
