Sock it to me!

It’s sock time! We will test our knowledge on knitting socks. Our very special guest, Curt Gridley will demonstrate an antique sock knitting machine.

We will look at some other ways to create socks. How about Polar fleece socks? Can you believe it? Make your pattern!  Some sewing involved.

Susan de Wit will host.

March 2017 Meeting

Felted Hat (Cap? Headband?)

Whatever you make it, it’s felted on a balloon. Everyone can do this. Susan de Wit has taught it to 3 year olds, so you can learn it too!

If you have a lovely wool batt that you haven’t spun or done anything with, now’s the time to use it. 

Materials will be provided, but for those who choose to add extra to their project, a selection of batts will be available at a minimum charge. If you have novelty things to incorporate, please bring those as well!
