Our quarterly PJ party is nearly upon us!  Join us Saturday, July 10th, for fun, food, and stitching from 5:30pm – midnight.  Cost is a mere $20 per person and includes dinner and dessert.  It’s hot outside, but it’s cool in the yarn shop.  Won’t you join us?

Just a reminder: 

Knit Block of the Month meets tonight (February 1st) at 5:30 pm.

This month’s block is number 21. You’ll need a size US7 needle (or size to obtain gauge) and a cable needle.

Club dues are $10 per month, for which you receive a $10 shop credit (good for one night only). 

It’s never to late to begin this fun and challenging project. Come join us!

Sock Club will meet Monday, January 18th at 5:30 pm.

Tuesday’s visit with Janel Laidman (author, designer, and all-around sock guru) left us inspired and re-energized! And after seeing her creations first-hand we are eager to tackle the patterns in her most recent book The Enchanted Sole. (This month’s sock, ‘Tintagel’, is featured on the cover).

Join us on Monday to begin our ‘Enchanted’ Sock Adventure! You’ll need size 2 needles and 4mm beads. We still have signed copies of this book on hand if you don’t already have one. (If you missed the book signing, don’t despair! A little bird told us we may see Janel in the very near future!) 

New to Sock Club?

Sock Club dues are $10.oo monthly for which you receive a $10.oo shop credit that may be applied to any item in the shop. The credit must be applied on the night that Sock Club meets. 

Everyone is welcome to join, but we do ask that you have a working knowledge of knitting socks. If you’ve never made socks before, consider our upcoming sock classes:

Basic Socks on DPN’s beginning on January 16th. (Second session begins February 26th) This class is for those true sock newbies.

“My First Pair of Grown-Up Socks” beginning on February 8th. This class will build on skills learned in the Basic Sock class. You’ll knit an easy, adult-sized sock using some variations of the basic sock pattern.

Holy Circs, Sockman! Four classes beginning on March 16th. This class is for advanced sock knitters.
