Down Cellar Sock Yarn Blanket Free Knit-a-long and Swap
The Backstory (from Kathy):
I knit a lot of shawls and socks and, invariably, I end up with some extra at the end of each project. Not really enough to do anything with, but it’s yarn and I can’t throw it away!
A short while ago, someone in Down Cellar’s Ravelry group posted a picture of a blanket she had made entirely of sock yarn- a beautiful collection of mitered squares. It’s one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen! And so, I decided to make one of my own.
After finishing about 15 squares, I posted a picture on Ravelry. Lo and behold, a few days later I was contacted by a lovely woman in British Columbia who was working on the same project. She suggested that we swap some yarn- and so an idea was born!
When, Where, What! We will meet at Down Cellar on the 3rd Sunday of each month from 3:00 to 4:30. You must sign up, purchase 1 skein of Down Cellar sock yarn, and provide your e-mail address. Each month I will send out an e-mail reminder to which you must RSVP. This will let me know how many people are coming and how many 10-yard balls of yarn you will need to bring! You will come with these balls of yarn and a set of needles, size 1-4, whichever is most comfortable for you. You can come to any or all of the free sessions!
You will learn how to make the squares and how to join them- they are joined as you go along, so there’s no sewing! You will create a permanent memorial of projects you’ve worked on, and of the new friends you’ve met in the knit-a-long. The best part? You can make the piece as big or small as you like, and gauge is not important!
Contact the shop to sign up- it promises to be a great time!
