Winter Garden Knitting Circle & Festive Stocking KAL

Intermediate / Advanced

Join us for a fun & festive knit-a-long (KAL). We'll learn the basics of knitting socks by knitting a holiday stocking and create a treasured keepsake by choosing your own design!

Join our Winter Garden Knitting Circle for a festive stocking KAL and see what the allure is about knitting socks. We'll start with the same pattern then mix it up with the color work patterns of your choice.  Our meet-ups will be for talking about our choices, sorting out errors, helpful tips and tricks, and an excellent time to learn from one another, share what you know and create a beautiful custom stocking (or two) for the holidays!
