SoCK: Planning, Sit-and-Knit, and Finished Projects
The program combines a sit-and-knit session with planning for next year’s programs. We’ll ask volunteers to claim a particular month. We don’t need you to know your exact program, just volunteer for a time slot. We’ll do the same thing for Door Prize volunteers. After that, we’ll show off finished projects and have a relaxing time sitting and knitting (or crocheting). Please join us!

Granny Squares are Still HOT!
Have you ever wondered what a granny square is? Join Debbie at the June SoCK meeting as we explore the basic construction of a granny square.
HOMEWORK:
Bring four colors of worsted-weight yarn and a 5mm crochet hook.
“Basic Granny Square” by Kristin Campbell-Harris is a free “starter” pattern on Ravelry.
If you are new to crochet, a great (and inexpensive) book is “Crochet Granny Squares” by Publications International Ltd., available on Amazon.

*Location Change!* Zoom and Weekley Community Center, 8440 Greenhouse Rd, Cypress, TX 77433
Why does that knitter have the yarn around the neck? Come explore a “new” style of knitting (in existence since the 700s) where the purl stitch and rib stitch are a breeze. Bring a swatch with 20 stitches and 3 or 4 rows if you want to participate. Worsted or DK is probably the best. You can use your practice swatch from last month!

Join the SoCK group for our annual holiday party.
Formulate your gift-stealing strategy for our White Elephant Gift Exchange Game. Bring a $20-25 wrapped gift without any name tag (stash dive if you want). 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 yarn-friendly snacks or finger food. With any luck, the weather will be cool enough to show off lovely hand-made scarves, shawls, or sweaters. Join us!
