Ewe's SOCKtober News


 
 
 
Welcome to SOCKtober!!! 

Happy Fall to All! It has still been pretty warm here in Connecticut, but soon sweater knitting weather will become sweater-wearing weather. It has become sock-wearing weather and I have already been wearing my hand-knit socks! I love showing them off in my clear shoes and sandals! (I know, I swore I’d never do that, but…) Please be sure to read all this month's news! We have a return of a KAL, a book preorder, and some fun events scheduled. 

 

 

 In honor of SOCKtober select sock yarns will be on sale at 20% off. They include Bamboo Pop Sock, Kettle Dyed Sock, United Sock, Heritage Stripes and Waves, Madrona, West Yorkshire Spinners Birds Collection and Holiday, Lana Mia One for Two, Gradient Sock and Crazy Zauberballs. 


Book Pre-Order Opportunity

This book is a new release from KnitDesignsbyTian aka Tain Connaughton. She designs both knit and crochet items designed to fit every body! She contacted me wanting to know if I would be interested in carrying her book in the shop. My immediate answer, YES! This looks like it is going to be soooooo good! Whether you are looking to design for multiple body types or just make things for you, it is covered here. 

If this is something that interests you please let me know asap! Send the shop phone a text or call 860-990-5230 with your name and say I want the book. I would like to offer a future workshop based on this book if there is interest. 


KAL

In celebration of SOCKtober, there will be a FREE zoom KAL starting on the 8th and running each Tuesday evening of the month from 7:15 to 8pm. During this time we will knit… SOCKS! That’s right top down, toe up, vanilla, fancy patterns, all kinds of heels, it doesn’t matter! The goal is to help keep you motivated and finish at least a pair!
