Join the fun at sock club, our knitalong dedicated to all things socks. Work at your own
pace (you don’t have to start a new sock each month). Free, we just ask that you
purchase your materials at the shop. Sock knitters unite!
Second Friday of every month: 8/8 & 9/12, 6:00pm – 8:00pm. No Club in July.
