Socks and beyond
Sock yarns are not just for socks these days! We’ll look at the many uses for sock yarns and discuss the best ways to use the various types of yarns available.
I’ll be speaking to the Oakville Association of Knitters and Crocheters (OAK-C) next Tuesday, November 5th.
The meeting is at the Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
I’ll be talking about lots of ways you can use up your sock yarn stash, and not just for socks! I’ll have lots of pretty yarns and samples for people to look at, as well as books they can be inspired by.
I’ll also be spinning at a couple events the next two weekends.
