See you at the Sock Salon 🛋️ 🧦
To celebrate Celia Pym's new book SOCKS Imaginative Mending, please join us for socks darning and book signing at Loop London!
SOCKS is an illustrated account of teaching a whole primary school how to darn a sock. It describes the project, why it happened, how it was planned and the impact it had. Perhaps most importantly it celebrates the socks and stitches themselves with photographs of every mended sock that was made.
Celia will be in store signing your books and we will have a sock mending salon on our middle floor. Bring your own socks to mend or there will also be socks and yarns available to practice on. This is not a taught session but there will be instructions and materials and people to help you with your darning - and an opportunity to sit and stitch together. Mend those favourite socks!
When: 31 January, 4:30 – 6:30pm
Where: Loop Knitting Shop on Camden Passage, Islington (Upper Street tube station)
