Sock Club

$25 Annual Fee

Pre-requisite: You must either have completed the Sock Basics class or possess all the skills required for making a basic sock.

Our Sock Club welcomes all sock knitters. A non-refundable $25 annual fee allows you to:

  • Join our monthly meeting from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on the second Friday of every month, and
  • Purchase any one 100g ball or two 50g balls of sock yarn (enough to make one adult pair) at 15% off during the monthly meeting.

Theresa George will host these monthly meetings. The Club welcomes all sock knitters who knit 1 pair a year or 1 pair a week (although we suspect that number will go up significantly with the discounted sock yarn you can buy every month). A sock yarn and pattern will be featured at each month’s meeting. We’ll exchange sock knitting tips and other great patterns members have come across, show off our beautiful socks, and we’ll sit and knit socks!
