Fiesta Feet 314 by Lucy Neatby

Level: Advanced - Experienced knitter
Instructor: Carolyn Hanson
Dates: Wednesdays Jan. 8, 15, 22 (snow day Jan 29)
Time: 7-9 PM
Pattern: Purchased on Ravelry

Skills taught: Bobbles, colorwork, stranded knitting, fancy stitches, kitchner toe closure, heel turning, gussets

 A little explanation:  These are my favorite socks to make and wear.  Chock full of design elements in two colors, they will keep your attention and get you excited for the next pattern change. Pick a solid and a variegated sock yarn from the many choices available. There is a bit of homework to start the project, a simple garter stitch band for the sock top made by alternating the 2 colors.  This will set the stage for the first class, making bobbles.  Also, the band is your gauge swatch to select your size.  The sock height can be adjusted.
