- Basic Socks (Cuff-Down) class with Lindsey will happen in a three-session class on Saturdays, October 9 / 16 / 23 - learn to make a basic worsted-weight sock with a heel flap and gusset, starting at the top of the cuff and working down to the toe.

- Sock Mechanics class with Debbie Romero will happen in a three-session class on Sundays, October 10 / 24 and November 7 - if you've ever wanted to take a sock pattern and modify it to fit you better (or any recipient of your choice!), this is the class that will help you level up as a sock knitter.
- We'll also be offering Sock-Adjacent Skills tutorials on Instagram Live on most Fridays in October. Picking up stitches, favorite sock patterns, increases/decreases and why you'd choose one over another... stay tuned for the full topic listing! These are free, but if you find them useful, you can always drop some money in the tip jar through Stilly River Yarns's Ko-Fi account.
