Small Circumference Knitting Techniques

I want to make a sock or mittens but....... knitting on that tiny circle scares me! In this class students will learn the basics of double points, two circulars, and magic loop. This is a technique class to teach the basics of each style of small circumference knitting, so there is not an actual project. By learning these basics, the students can then try a sock or mitten class with confidence.
