Side Hustle Sock Party!

We are, once again, happy to have the Side Hustle Socksters in the shop for a sock cranking party! Please join us Friday, February 8 from 5-8PM.

You can purchase a fabulous skein of sock yarn for 10% off and have it wound into a sock tube during the party for only $20. The Socksters will provide you with a pattern to add afterthought toes and heels to your tube, turning it from a long yarn snake into fabulous socks.

Priority will be given to yarn purchased during the party, but feel free to bring sock yarns from home to add to the queue. We will be hosting another party on March 15, but I will remind you of that when we get closer. See you February 8!

Friday Sock Party!

Hey y'all! Don't forget about the Side Hustle Sock party happening Friday evening at Close Knit, 5-8PM. You can purchase sock yarn at 10% off during the party, and the Side Hustle folks will crank your yarn into a long tube that you can turn into socks. 

Priority will be given to yarn purchased at Close Knit, but you can bring whatever you have to be cranked up. They will provide a pattern for adding afterthought toes and heels, and Emily even has a class on the books if that's more your style. See you Friday!

Side Hustle Socks

On Friday, November 30, Close Knit will host the Side Hustle Socksters for a sock machine party!

For $20, you can have a skein of sock yarn cranked into a stockinette stitch tube, ready for you to knit afterthought heels, toes, and cuffs. This will speed up holiday gift knitting (or selfish chilly weather knitting) while still allowing you the fun of knitting with some lovely sock yarn.

With your yarn cranking, the Socksters will include their own pattern for afterthought toes and heels (with a great trick to avoid holes when picking up stitches for the heel), including a photo tutorial.

Close Knit will be open for shopping and sock cranking from 5-8 PM. Priority for on-the-spot cranking will be given to yarn purchased at Close Knit that evening, but you can also bring your own sock yarn to be cranked later in the week and picked up. There will even be a discount on sock yarn during the party!

Emily will be offering a class on after-thought toes and heels in December in case you'd like some guidance as you finish those tubes into socks!
