If you love knitting socks with a vintage twist, you won’t want to miss the Eastern Ontario Circular Sock Knitting Machine Crank-in 2023. This event is hosted by the Cranking the Valley Group, a community of enthusiasts who share a passion for this old-fashioned skill.
The crank-in will take place on October 21, 2023, at the Alice and Fraser Recreation Centre in Pembroke, Ontario. The cost is $35 per person, which includes refreshments and a light lunch. You’ll need to bring your own work table and your circular sock knitting machine, of course.
Don’t worry about parking or accessibility, as there is plenty of free space and an elevator for your convenience. To register, please contact Julie Morin by email at julielizamorin@yahoo.com before October 7, 2023.
Hurry up and secure your spot for this unique opportunity to celebrate a craft that dates back to the 18th century and has a rich historical background. You’ll be amazed by what you can create with a circular sock knitting machine!
