Join the SoCK group for our annual holiday party!!

Formulate your gift-stealing strategy for our White Elephant Gift Exchange. Bring a wrapped gift ($25-30 value). The gift should be related to or themed after knit/crochet/yarn, etc.

Participation in the White Elephant is optional, but it’s a lot of fun and can be quite competitive!

Bring snacks or finger food. With any luck, the weather will be cool enough to show off lovely hand-made scarves, shawls, or sweaters. Come join us!

KNOW Meeting – Upcycling

The November meeting of KNOW will feature a program on Upcycling by Nancy.

Join us as we discuss what is upcycling, the impact of the textile
industry on the environment, and things we can do as fiber artists/enthusiasts to change
our impact. Let’s not be part of the problem, but part of the solution!

Members are also invited to show and share any of your completed projects.

Members often arrive early to visit over dinner and show their support to the restaurant
for their generosity in allowing us to meet there. Visitors and members from other
chapters are always welcome.

KIND Meeting – Stranded Knitting

Stranded knitting is all the rage, especially for sweater yokes!

Take your stranding to the next level with the help of Amy Rodgers, KIND’s guest speaker. Amy will cover tips and tricks to make your work easier and to get your colorwork creations to stand out in a good way!

For the meeting, please bring two colors of smooth wool yarn and appropriate needles – double points or circular needles so you can practice these techniques on a small swatch in the round.
