Socktober Knit-A-Long

Join us October 12, 19, & 26 at 10AM each day for a Socktober Knit-A-Long! We'll be knitting our way through the "Yarn Tour Sampler Sock," designed by Teresa Brittain for the 2024 Great Tennessee Yarn Tour. This sock pattern is a great way to use up leftover sock yarn or show off your mini-skeins from the 2024 Yarn Tour!

If you participated in the 2024 Great Tennessee Yarn Tour, this Knit-A-Long is a great way to re-connect with other Tourists! However - this K-A-L is open to everyone! If you did not go on the Tour, but love to knit socks, please join us!

Please Note: This is not a "how to knit" or "how to knit socks" class. Participants should know how to knit socks and follow a pattern. This is a time for us to enjoy embarking on a new pattern all together! We will briefly go over the pattern and questions together as we work through the sock.
