Long-Lasting Socks with Kate Atherley
About Long-Lasting Socks with Kate Atherley
Make your handknit socks last longer. This session is all about practical solutions for making the most of these precious items. We’ll talk about how to start with longevity in mind: a discussion of yarn type, fabric and fit. I’ll share a variety of reinforcement strategies: other yarns and threads, special pattern stitches and key places to work them – not just the heel flap! I’ll provide a few techniques for repairing thin spots and making sure holes never develop.
