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!
At our January 15th meeting, Naomi Enav will demonstrate and instruct members on the use of the Guild’s knitting machines. During this program Naomi will discuss the yarn weights that she has had the most success with and which yarn weights are difficult to work with.
For our January meeting, Sparrow will be visiting to teach Portuguese knitting. Portuguese style is a way of holding, tensioning, and flicking your yarn that requires minimal hand movement when switching from knit to purl stitches – perfect for ribbing!
Homework: Bring a medium-weight yarn and appropriate size needles to try out this new technique – no other accessories are necessary. If you have a pin or brooch for Portuguese knitting, please bring it to show.

Beaded Key Lanyard
Do you find yourself rooting around at the bottom of your purse, looking for your car or house keys? Join us at SoCK to make a key lanyard. This project uses beads and clips to attach the lanyard to your purse (or knitting bag). Your keys will always be at hand! We will provide kits with all the basics.
Join us for our annual holiday party!!
Formulate your gift-stealing strategy for our White Elephant Gift Exchange Game.
Bring a $25-30 value wrapped gift without any name tag (stash dive if you want). Gifts should be related to knitting/crocheting/yarn, etc.
Participation in the game is optional; it’s still a party!!
Bring yarn-friendly snacks or finger food.
Hopefully, the weather will be cool enough to show off lovely hand-made scarves, shawls, or sweaters!
We will be having our monthly meeting on December 15th instead of December 29th due to the holidays.
It will also be our holiday party with a gift exchange.
If you wish to join us and participate in the gift exchange, please bring a skein of yarn, not acrylic, worth $25-30. Several members will be bringing dessert/food items to share. All are welcome!
Our Holiday Party is scheduled for 12/20. We will be having snacks, etc. provided by the club. Please let Maggie know if you plan to attend (OR NOT!) so that we can plan appropriately.
