Sock Club
Sock Club is a meeting of sock minded knitters. It is not a class but a club. Carol, our resident sock expert, will be available for pointers and tips and problems with specific patterns. This is not a beginning sock class. Participants should be comfortable knitting basic socks as a prerequisite for attending. (If you have never knitted a sock before you would want to sign up for our basic sock class). Like to knit socks, want to share your enthusiasm with others who feel likewise then come and join us!
Sock Club will be every Monday from 1:00pm to 3:00pm
no reservations needed, no fees involved
hostess: Carol
