SoXperience 2012 will be on the beautiful Chincoteague Island, VA, the perfect location to do some serious knitting and then take breaks to enjoy the local scenery, and events the Island has to offer. Time has been allotted in the weekend for you to take advantage of the Assateague Wildlife Preserve (catch a glimpse of the legendary Chincoteague ponies) and 2nd Saturday Art Stroll and the weekend wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Carodan Farm Wool Shop.
We are delighted that Wendy Johnson, of Wendy Knits, is back with us this year. Wendy is author of several books,  and has taught at many workshops. She recently published Wendy Knits Lace and will use her lace expertise instructing us in incorporating lace patterns into sock knitting. Wendy has designed a mini sock with the lacework included for the workshop, and a sock pattern especially for SoXperience. Wendy kicks off SoXperience with a Friday evening class on knitting socks that really fit. How many times have you finished a pair of socks only to have them not fit? Any of you who attended last year will definitely not mind a repeat of this class.
SoXperience will be held in the conference room of the Comfort Suites on the Island. The conference room is spacious and the hotel has offered the group a great rate. Just mention that you are with the SOX retreat when you register for lodging.
