    Kick off the holidays with your sock friends! We start the party Wednesday at noon and continue until Sunday at noon. We have to go home because we are so tired! While there are no csm classes at this event there are plenty of expert knitters that can help a person out!

    We provide materials for a couple of special projects and then we do some paper folding and if we're lucky we will do some chair yoga.

    This years special projects are pretty stinking cool, and I am not telling what they are until after the fact (in other words you'll see the pics on Facebook).

    Friday night we will have a crockpot Friendsgiving (think creatively about this one!) and then play Dirty Santa. Bring a wrapped gift of your choice (good, bad, handmade, downright silly or used...be creative here too).

    Go to the show me your socks Facebook group to register.
