WEBS Mittens and Socks from Measurements* - IP

*This class fulfills the Mittens and Socks from Measurements Requirement for WEKP.

In this class, you will complete a pair of mittens and a pair of socks to your own measurements, and at your own gauge, using a tried and true formula. By the end of the class you will be able to make mittens and socks for everyone you know and be sure they will fit. 

Please note: This class is designed for knitters who are already comfortable using double-pointed needles, and is not designed for circular needles. 

For the comfort and safety of our students and teachers, students may be asked to wear a mask during in person classes and workshops, and are available upon request.
