SockChallenge

In Kemi has started a huge SockChallenge! The aim is to knit woollen socks for each school kid (grades 1-9) for the comming Xmas. It means about 2000 pairs of socks. You can participate if you want; by knitting or donating the yarn. No money is accepted; just finished socks and yarn.

The socks should be just normal basic woollen socks; either striped or one coloured. It doesn't matter which yarn you use as long as it includes wool and is strong enough for socks. The size range is huge because the school kids are aged from 7 to 15 years. They are boys and girls; so the socks can be tiny or huge. If you know the size you knit mark it to the socks. If you don't it doesn't matter; someone will sort it out later. You can also mention your name with the socks and Merry Christmas wishes. Or just wish Mery Christmas.

If you want to donate just yarn bring it to the local delicacy shop Punnitse & Säästä (Keskuspuistokatu 1, 94100 Kemi). It is in the building with pharmacy and food shop S-market.

If you want to donate finished socks you can bring them to Punnitse & Säästä or local yarn shop Pieni lankapuoti (Keskuspuistokatu 10, 94100 Kemi).

The SockChallenge has its own Facebook Group Kemin sukkahaaste.
