Projects for the Novice Knitter

Felted Socks

Afterwards, you felt the socks, and they become a cozy pair of slippers, great for the cold weather. A great holiday gift! This project is intended for the novice through experienced knitter. Techniques learned include knitting in the round with double pointed needles, short row shaping, and picking up stitches.
