Class Introduction
Hey there, I'm Vicki Howell, and welcome to Knitmaker 201, socks. If you are watching this course, that means that you already a full on knitter, so welcome to the breathen. I'm happy to have you here, and I'm real excited to walk you from the very tip top to the very low toe of making socks. We are gonna be making this pair right here, and we've gotta have a couple of options, so we've got these sort of like gender neutral, nice plain option. We're gonna be talking about a ribbed cuff. We're gonna cover how to work the heel, how to turn the heel, how to work the foot, and finally how to change color on the toe, and then finish it off. Then, if you're feeling sassy, I'm gonna also show you how to do this pico edging. It's totally optional, it adds a little fem touch that you may or may not want, but it's a little bonus that's kind of sweet and adds a really unique little personal flair to it. And bonus, bonus, it's actually crocheted, so I'm sneakin' a little of that in there too. Tota...
lly optional, but I'm really excited to get you started. Sometimes people are a little bit intimidated by sock making, but after this course, I promise you that you're gonna feel totally equipped. You're gonna be on solid ground to knit your little happy sock heart out for the rest of your knitting life, so what are we waiting for? Let's get started.

VICKY is so awesome, and now Im ready to knit socks. Ive been wanting to for a long time, she is so great about encouraging us to jump in. She has a way of making what seems so complicated seem easy and do-able. I am actually super excited about trying. I really miss all her great tips on Knitty Gritty, and was so delighted to see her on CL, my 2 favorites together, what could be better....MORE PLEASE....
