SIP 'N SOCKS: Monday January 9, 16, 23 & 30 from 6 to 8 pm.

Our first Sip ‘n Sock of 2012 is a repeat from the past! We've had a request to knit an old favorite, the SIP ‘n SOCK COFFEE CUP pattern.

This is a simple sock, worked in worsted weight yarn. There is a small amount of colorwork but very easy to do. You will need a main color of yarn plus a small amount of contrasting color (you will probably want a pretty high contrast color so that your "coffee cup" will show up in the sock) If you have a copy of the pattern from before, just bring it along with you. If you need a copy, they will be available at the yarn shop.

Cost to participate is $5 for the month (covered by your “open knit” fee), which entitles you to 10% off yarn for the project. PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a learn to knit class but rather a knit-a-long where we chose a pattern and yarn to work on together, but there are always knitters who are willing to help out if you have problems with a pattern - we can work through it together!
