Make Do and Mend Virtual Workshop – Knitting Socks
February 16, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm America/Toronto
Ever wanted to try wartime knitting? Register now for our latest virtual Make Do and Mend workshop offering helpful tips and tricks, including how to choose yarn and how to translate vintage needle sizes.
We’ve invited Christine LeGrow and Shirley A. Scott — authors of the award-winning Saltwater Knits book series — to demonstrate using a basic sock pattern. You’ll also learn some history about the important contributions of volunteer knitters during the Second World War, and see a few knitting-related artifacts from the Museum’s collections.
