Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

SoCK is planning a Holiday Stocking KAL/CAL!

For our August meeting, Kristi will lead a discussion about creating and embellishing a stocking.
We’ll discuss patterns, and any weight yarn may be used to make the stocking.
Embellishment ideas include holiday motifs, beading, duplicate stitches, embroidery, etc.

We hope to share our finished stockings at the Holiday Party in December. Come join the fun!

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW) — January RESCHEDULED

We will be presenting our completed KALs from November and showing our current WIPs.

Many of our members often come early to dine at the restaurant and show appreciation for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. All KANG members and visitors are welcome!

Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)

We will be starting a knit along project (KAL), with everyone showing their finished product at our January meeting. Project will be determined by a majority vote, and it will be small enough that it can be easily finished in 1-2 months.

Knitting in Kingwood (KIK)

Last month we discussed how to read knitting charts with some tips and tricks. Elizabeth Jackson from SOCK joined us. We love having guests!

This month the KIK group will be starting a KAL of the Cassapinka Olive Pink Shawl. It is a great shawl that uses 4 different colors/skeins of sock weight yarn and teaches many different stitches and techniques.

SoCK Meeting – Kickoff for KAL/CAL

Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK) – Saturday, October 14, 10:00am – 12:00pm

Back by request, SoCK will begin a knit-along (KAL) and crochet-along (CAL). You decide which program you want to participate in — one, both or none. Debbie Smith will take us on our journey as we work on our projects. The goal is to show off our gorgeous items at our meeting next June.

  1. Choose a project that has a new technique, skill, or something that you have always wanted to do, but haven’t.
  2. Bring the project to our monthly meeting, October thru June. Share your progress, if you need help, reach out.
  3. You can work on more than one project.
  4. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s plans!
