[Nfb-krafters-korner] Has anyone knitted Socks?

[Eileen Scrivani]

Hi Valerie:

I know both the magic loop & how to knit with 2 circs so am able to teach 
those two methods, but sock knitter I am not.  Here we have to wait for 
Joyce to teach a sock class since she has experience with it!  I'm looking 
forward to taking a sock class too.

We have a good number of people interested in the 2 knitting in the round 
techniques so that's good.

Eileen
