Have you ever knit—or cranked—a sock tube and wondered how to turn it into a finished sock? In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to transform a pre-knit sock tube into a fully functional, perfectly fitting sock using the afterthought heel method.

Bring your completed sock tube and get ready to cut into your knitting (yes, really!) as we guide you through every step of this transformative technique. Whether you prefer Magic Loop, Flexi-flips, or double-pointed needles, you’ll gain the confidence and skills to turn tubes into socks with ease.
