Classes

The winter schedule for my favorite yarn store should be out shortly and I'm teaching four classes, the monthly CBAM (crochet block-a-month), plus two rounds of beginning crochet. I love teaching beginners - get 'em early, addict 'em fast!

Snow Bobble Hat - Tuesday, January 8, 6-9 pm
Planning a trip to snow country – or to the blustery beach in January? This cute hat will keep head and ears toasty warm. The pattern is for a child’s hat but is easily customized for adults. Working in the round, you’ll learn to make bobbles (much easier than in knitting!), crochet in the front and back loops, and more. For this class you need to know basic crochet stitches (slip stitch, chain, single and double crochet). Skill level: Advanced Beginner. (similar to the one pictured.)

Crocheted Socks - Tuesday, February 26 & March 4, 6-9 pm
Take advantage of all the beautiful new sock yarns and join us for a crocheted sock class. These custom fit, in-your-shoe socks are crocheted in the round. You’ll learn about shaped toes, heels, gussets and more. With a few tricks and a little practice, we’ll have you making socks in no time. No prior sock making experience is necessary, but you need to know basic crochet stitches (slip stitch, chain, single and double crochet). Skill level: Advanced Beginner.

Entrelac Scarf – Tuesday, April 1, 6-9 pm
Crochet and entrelac - together? You bet! Entrelac is a technique used to create a diamond pattern resembling basket-woven strips of fabric. You’ll learn this easily mastered process while making a multi-colored scarf that can be felted if desired. Knowledge of Tunisian crochet is helpful but not required for the class. You need to know basic crochet stitches (slip stitch, chain, single and double crochet). Skill level: Advanced Beginner.

Perfect Spring Shawl – Tuesday, April 29, 6-9 pm
Be prepared for those chilly spring and summer evenings with this easy to crochet wrap. The Perfect Spring Shawl sits lightly on the shoulders and tapers slightly at the edges for a touch of elegance. The pattern is easily adjustable for a shawl that fits you perfectly. For this class you need to know basic crochet stitches (slip stitch, chain, single and double crochet). Skill level: Beginner.

Crochet Block-a-Month - 3rd Tuesday of each month, beginning January 15, 6-9 pm. We'll do a variety of squares, concentrating on cables and popcorns and bobbles, oh my!

Beginning Crochet
1 - Tuesday, January 22, 29, and February 5, 6-9 pm
2 - Saturday, February 16, 23, and March 1, 4-6 pm

I think I'm going to be busy!
