Socks are the perfect take-along knitting project. They fit in your purse or backpack and are great for keeping you busy while waiting for an appointment, or watching sports.
Come learn the basics of socks! We will be teaching the magic loop method, so you will need a circular needle (size 1, at least 32” long) and a full ball of sock yarn (usually 400+ yds).
Socks are easy and fun. Students should have a good handle on knit and purl stitches. Knowledge of circular knitting would be helpful, but is not mandatory.
Ages 13+
Come learn with us!
Note: No class on Oct. 26th.

A Petoskey native, Kelly Shively was born and raised on a farm east of town. Growing up with a knitting mother, she was introduced to the craft at an early age. It didn’t take. Later in life, when she became the mother of three lovely little girls, she picked up the needles again, and this time it was a success. Now a knitter and spinner of 30+ years, she finds great peace and fulfillment in these crafts. She loves to teach, and feels like teaching helps keep her own excitement and love of these crafts refreshed. Kelly has taught many northern Michigan women (and men!) to knit and spin, and hopes to continue doing so. Her philosophy tends more toward relaxation and enjoyment, rather than a black and white Strict Rules philosophy. “There are a lot of ways of doing this,” she’ll often say. “Find the way that fits you and brings you joy, and stick with it."
