Join us for an interesting group discussion – “Why do I knit/crochet? What motivates me to continue?”
We will also discuss ideas for programs for the upcoming year.
Bring your knitting/crochet to work on during the meeting and items to show and share.
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!
At our July meeting we will begin work on our next charity project. It was decided that we would knit and crochet wash clothes for charity.
As part of the process of working on this project, we are going to have a presentation on “crocheting for knitters” and we will have patterns for those that would like to learn and those who are proficient at crocheting available. Knitting patterns will also be provided at the meeting.
More information will be sent prior to our meeting.
Our July program is about knitting with beads.
Please join us!
At our June meeting we are planning to get ahead of our 26-27 program schedule. We encourage members to attend and give their input of programs they would like to have provided during our next chapter year.
Last month we had a lesson on color theory given by Irene Piatek. Lots of info and everyone got a color wheel.
This month we will be doing a KAL/CAL market bag.
Come prepared to talk about your very favorite thing you have ever knit or crocheted. Bring the item if possible, or a photo!
Our programming for the meeting will be a casual craft & chat. Non-yarn crafts are welcome! Bring whatever it is you are working on, or any projects you could use some help with.
Knit and Crochet Pain-free
Improve the strength and flexibility of your hands and arms, so both your body and your mind can enjoy knitting and crocheting. This interactive presentation will show you exercises to help you stitch without pain.
Irene will be teaching us about color theory. Please join us!
This month we’ll learn a little bit about Intarsia and complete a swatch.
If you wish to participate, please bring two contrasting colors of yarn (worsted or heavy worsted recommended) and appropriate needles. You’ll need 12-15 yards of your main color and 4-5 yards of the contrast color.
If you have bobbins, feel free to bring them – you’ll need 3. You can also make your own bobbins from cereal boxes, use a clothespin, or wind yarn into a butterfly (all of which we’ll cover in the program).
