Book of Socks – Study + Knit
"Socks are the breakfast of our knitting diet, a physical and metaphorical underpinning to our day. They get us off to a good start, send us out into the world, and give a good indication of how the day will go. Is the cuff too tight? Frustration and discomfort from the get-go. Fabric won’t breathe? A stifled day. Has the foot sprouted a hole? Or two? A sense of sloppiness prevails—along with a fear that you’ll have to remove your shoes and expose your secret to the world." Clara Parkes, Book of Socks This 12-month study and knit will take place every second Wednesday of the month, June 2026 through May 2027. We will spend time reading and discussing the different aspects of fiber, yarn structure, and sock-knitting techniques as laid out in the book. Then, we will knit! The book contains 20 sock patterns, and we will knit 10 of the patterns. Don't worry, friends, no colorwork socks this time around! I hope that by using specifically structured yarns, you will experience the importance that yarn plays in the overall sock-making, structure, wear, and longevity.
