SOCK’s regular chapter meeting is the same day and location from 10am-noon, all are welcome to attend! There will be plenty of time after to go get lunch, then return for the charity event at 1:30.
If anything changes and it doesn’t make it into the newsletter, be sure to check our website and Facebook group for the most up-to-date info.
Come help us crank and put items together. We’ll bring several ADDI circular knitting machines. If you have one, bring it to the meeting. Yarn is provided. Please bring any other charity items to the event as well.
Our August 21 meeting will be a continuation of our July program of stitching together our charity blanket squares.
At the end of our July meeting, it was suggested that we continue stitching our knitted blanket squares together. So please bring your darning needles and crochet hooks.
We will also be discussing plans for the programs that members would like presented, Valarie Nicholson will bring surveys as a jumping off point for our 2025-26 year.
At our July meeting we will be stitching together blocks for the charity blankets to donate to the Linus Project. It looks like we have enough knitted blocks to complete at least 3 older children blankets. Please bring your darning needles. At our last meeting it was suggested that we crochet a border around the edges of the blankets, so if any of the members would like to participate in this part it would be appreciated.
Knitted Knockers Night
We will learn a few tips on making knockers using 2 circulars, magic loop or double points.
For those willing to support this effort, patterns and Caboo yarn will be available to take home. Each cake makes 3-4 knockers. A great small project for hot summer days.
Yarn for this charity effort has been purchased with KNIT Chapter funds.
Thank you again for supporting the Linus Project. If you took blankets home to finish, please bring them to this meeting if at all possible.
As always please bring show and share items — old or new!
Kathy and Jan

Our charity yarn stash is running low, please consider donating or asking friends to search their stash for acrylic yarns of various weights.

Speaking of stash, Ravelry has several patterns including the Snippet Scarf and Stashbuster Scarf that create fringe instead of ends to weave in. The Fidget Sleeve is also a good stash eater.
We have many infant hats. Please consider making an infant blanket 24″x36″ or larger that will go to Project Linus or LBJ pediatric unit.
