Melissa Morgan-Oakes was taught to crochet, tat, and sew at an early age by women who
encouraged her to work without commercial patterns. Looking for new inroads in fiber art,
Morgan-Oakes taught herself to spin and knit. She brings the perspective of a self-taught knitter
to her classes. A registered nurse and former home-schooling mom she now teaches knitting,
writes, and designs patterns in beautiful Western Massachusetts
Toe Up 2-at-a-Time Socks - 6 hours
What could be better than socks knitted 2-at-a-Time? Why 2-at-a-Time socks knitted from the
toes to the top, of course! Now there’s no “second sock syndrome”, and you can build your socks
from the toes up – no yarn shortage surprises, you can make a cuff shorter if need be! Under the
tuition of the creator of this novel knitting method, students will create their own miniature
sample socks using the technique outlines in the book
Toe Up 2-at-a-Time Socks.
Keep an eye on the news letter for our series of $5.00 workshops.
