Knitter's Night

Last night was one of the busiest Needle Exchanges I've seen in long time. All the regulars where there as well as some faces we haven't seen in awhile. Pat showed off her beautiful cardigan, makes you want to beg for winter doesn't it. Great job!

The cable challenge pattern was passed around and the variety of yarn choice for this knit-along is vast! It starts Sept 15.
Everyone was buzzing about socks. It seemed like everyone was knitting them on doubles, circulars, magic loop. Angela just finished sock class so she working on finishing her first pair. Nancy has completed her first pair of socks..she graciously modeled them for us. Wonderful job Nancy.
And now the info on the sock club. The idea is that every 2 months those that join the club will get yarn for a pair of socks and a pattern. Some of the yarn you have already seen at some point in the shop but there have been many new arrivals for this season. You can knit the socks anyway you want, you don't have to follow the pattern and you can chose your own needles (magic loop, circs, or doubles). The membership fee is $75 for six months or pay $150 for the year. The package will be delivered to your door and the surprise will have the fun. The other half is the finshed sock of course. The first installment for the club is mid Septemeber so hurry up and call or email the shop to sign up.
