Join the SoCK chapter for an overview of sock knitting basics!
No pre-work is needed for this lecture/discussion that will demystify sock construction and techniques.

Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

Experience the magic of short rows.

Short rows let you add interesting design elements to your projects and improve the fit of your garments. Practice Wrap & Turn, German, Japanese, and Twin Stitch (fish lips kiss) techniques. Learn why some methods are more suited to stockinette and garter stitch and why some are more visible on the back side of your work.

Bring smooth yarn (worsted or DK weight) and suitable needles.

Executive Board Meeting – Q3

Your Executive Board will have the third quarterly meeting via Zoom.

Each Chapter has been tasked to provide a representative from their chapter to serve on the Nominating Committee.

SoCK Meeting – Eek! Let’s Steek (pt. 2)

For January’s meeting, Annette Willis introduced us to steeking and when it is used in knitting.

This month, we will steek the coffee cozy we made during and after the January meeting. For those who may have missed the January meeting, “Steek this Coffee Cozy” by Rachel Molenaar, is the free pattern we used.

If you want something simpler, cast on about 40 stitches in worsted weight yarn and knit about a 3-4-inch band in the round. We will provide all the supplies to steek your cozy. If you have ever steeked a project, please bring it to show the group.

SoCK Meeting – Intro to Cables

Introduction to Cables: Marla Morris will introduce us to cable knitting. This introduction to cables is designed for fairly new knitters who can knit and purl and are ready to increase their skills. She will present a variety of cable stitches, their uses, cable needles, and descriptions. We will look at a chart and a written pattern for the same sample, learn how cable stitches appear on the chart, how they are used in patterns, then how to make them—with and without a cable needle. A Powerpoint presentation and pattern are part of this class, originally designed for a knitting guild format of one hour.

 

The free pattern (on Ravelry) is Hugs & Kisses Wristers by Marla Morris
