Yarn Swap & 1 day sale this SUNDAY

This Sunday Knitomatic will be hosting a yarn & needle swap, and in honour of this very fun event event we'll give you 25% off ALL regularly priced store merchandise (discount does not apply to merchandise that is already discounted).

By the way, if you've got some drek that is too emmbarrassing to show to other knitters, i'm always happy to pass it on to charity: needles go to needy inner-city kids who are learning how to knit, acrylic goes to baycrest geriatric hospital, bit's & bobs go to hillcrest school's grade 3 kniting club which is working on a blanket for project linus, quality wool goes to northern secondary School's knitting club that
knits scarves etc for toronto's homeless, and swatch squares go to project linus.

Sock it to me!
I get it, I've finally figured out the eternal question, why knit socks on those tiny little needles when you can buy a pair of black socks at walmart for a few bucks? because they feel coming in from the taboganing in the cold to a cup of hot chocolate and a roaring file AMAZING! So this class isn't just about how to make socks, it's about sharing that nummy feeling in the pit of your belly and speading contentment to the universe.
Here's how it'll work:
- skill level is advanced beginner. you don't have to know how to make socks, but you should have a bit of experience knitting.
- skills you should be familiar with: casting on, knit & purl stitches, knitting in a k2 p2 rib, following a pattern.
- skills you'll learn/don't need to be familiar with: working in the round with double pointed needles, picking up stitches, grafting stitches, working in short rows, slipping stitches, etc.
- the group will meet once a week for an hour (sat at 10am or sun at 12pm) for 4 weeks.
week 1: cast on in the round & knit the calf
week 2: make the heel & pick up the instep
week 3: graft the toe
week 4: catch up if we're behind, start sock number 2
- we'll all be working on the same basic sock pattern with sock yarn and the corresponding bamboo double pointed needles.
- you must make the socks for yourself. how else will you know the love?
- you must work with a coloured yarn. there are lots of yarns to choose from and they all do fun, funky patterning things all by themselves.
- the cost will be $40 + tax for the instruction, needles $9 +tax, yarn ranges from $14 to $16 +tax (or if you are feeling decadent you can opt for koigu merino for $39 +tax)
