SoCK: Year-long Challenge Wrap-up

Tell why you selected your project, any pitfalls you encountered, and share what you learned along the way. If you need help completing your project, or just want inspiration, we’re here to help! We’ll also announce the slate of candidates for our 24-25 officers (to be voted on in July). June 8 is World-wide Knit in Public Day. We’ll decide where to have lunch and go knit in public after our meeting! As always, bring any other show & share or charity items.
