Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

This year’s SoCK programs are designed to elevate your skills. For the September meeting, we’ll kick off our yearly challenge. The theme is “Making those UFOs become FOs.” For the challenge kickoff, there will be a prize for the person who brings the most UFOs (or photo evidence of them) to the meeting. At the end of the year, there will be prizes for the most completed UFOs.

You also can challenge yourself to dig into new skills you want to learn! Upcoming programs are on short rows, socks, backward knitting and knitting styles, Portuguese knitting, crochet skills, Knit Companion Part 2, yarn dyeing with Koolaid, and Granny Square crochet! Challenge yourself to grow your skills!

August’s meeting is the program we had planned in July that was interrupted by Hurricane Beryl.

It is a combination of a sit & knit and planning our next year’s programs.
We’ll ask volunteers to claim a particular month.
We don’t need you to know exactly what your program will be, just volunteer for a time slot.
We’ll do the same thing for Door Prize volunteers.

After that, we’ll show and share finished projects and have a relaxing time just sitting and knitting (or crocheting). Please come be part of this!

SoCK Mtg – Knitting Origins

SoCK Mtg – Knitting Origins

Have you ever wondered about the origins of knitting?  Stopped to think, who came up with the idea of taking two sticks and some string and making a sock?  Just how old is knitting?  What were the first knitted items?  Wonder no more.  Come learn about the beginnings of knitting through the medieval period.  Learn about where knitting began and what people in the dark ages knitted.  There will be pictures of pieces from the medieval age, reproductions, and patterns based upon historical pieces.  All taught by a noble woman from the 1300s.
