New: Friday Drop-In Summer Sock Circle KAL

Weekly Friday KAL Summer Sock Circle

Now is the time if you've wanted to tackle socks. Starts June 7th with our weekly sock drop-in circles: Fridays 12-2pm. Maureen will guide you along as you tackle your first, or umpteenth sock. Her favorite go-to sock pattern: Crazy Sock Lady's 9" circular Vanilla Sock. Come to pick out yarn, needles and get your complementary pattern for joining our group. 


Maureen l-o-v-e-s making socks! You'll benefit from her years of sock knitting experience. Lots of tips & tricks as she coaches you toward the finish line. Check out the Crazy Sock Lady youtube channel for lots of video tutorials. Here's the  9"Circulars video for a preview of our Summer Sock Circle. Come by June 7th with your sock WIPs, problem-socks, or come cast on a new sock project. 


Last summer we held a Sock KAL using the Knit 2 Socks in 1 book (Kim is still working on her socks...) If you're intrigued by this awesome sock method join us on Fridays. It involves a tube, life lines and (eek!) steeks...or cutting your yarn on purpose! (Yes, we "cut" stitches on purpose!)

Note these Friday Circle are a free KAL/drop-in sessions for those wanting an excuse gather weekly and knit on socks with others!. It's for those who know basics of knitting and want to up their game with a new challenge.* Or be challenged to actually finish socks already on the needles

 (........Kim hides behind desk......drags her multiple sock wips with her.....) 

Socks are the perfect summer-travel-project to shove in your bag and hit the road! Let's go! It's summertime and the knittin' is good! 

"Honey I can't do that now...I've got to go to my Sock Circle!"




*Want to Learn How To Knit? Sign up for individual classes with Kim. Sessions this summer on select Thurs Jun-Aug. Watch for future blog posts or call/email to inquire*

Maisie Mondays Now Friday Fundays: Drop-In WIPs Therapy Sessions Return

Our weekly drop in session returns starting April 1st! Grab a project, and come sit out back to work together on our stuff! 

Good ole sitting, making and chattin'. From 11ish to 2ish. A safe place to retreat from world for a few hours and just think, talk, do crafty stuff together. 

Staff on hand to gently guide, handhold, cheerlead and encourage you with whatever's on the needles. No formal teaching but usually someone there can help or suggest help. 

Just sit and chatter away while we work together happily on our wips (works-in-progress). Think of it as a nice break from the crazy world for a few hours, to recenter and rejuvenate by making stuff. 

It's our way of bringing fun back into our lives. 

Plus, Megan knows this is only way Kim will finish anything: forcing her to sit a few hours and knit!

Maybe then we'll see some more shop samples appear. Because there's a pile of them languishing. Sure would be nice to get some completed and into the shop before the yarns get discontinued..... ROTFLOL

Feel free to drop in Fridays from 11-2ish. Patio table always open, shady and not too hot (yet). Bring jacket though, because this week it's bit cooler than last week. Next week will be warm again. Sun hits patio early afternoon but shady to start.
