As the weather starts to get chillier, my knitting and crochet classes always ramp up while everyone scrambles to get some lovely woolies made to wear before the first properly cold snap! So far, I have a few workshops in the pipeline this Autumn, the first is at Sconch this weekend, on Saturday the 12th September. Lovely Sam has asked me back to Essex to teach some fabulous workshops showing you how to read crochet charts and use my crochet card decks. One is in the morning and one in the afternoon and you get a discount if you book onto the whole day! An added extra this year is that now I have a new deck to discuss, and I will have a preview of my new book, due out in October to show everyone too! Find out more and book onto the class on the Sconch website (add link to the words sconch website) https://www.sconch.com/a/search/classesfilter_discipline_tag_group=Crochet I am also back at Loop this Autumn, which is perfectly timed to coincide with the publication of my new book, The Complete Guide to Granny Squares. The class is great for new crocheters, those needing a refresher, or those who know the basic stitches, but want to add to their knowledge or gain confidence in using these stitches to make a finished project.
We will be exploring granny squares, charts, and colourful projects, choosing a motif from my book or card decks to try, while learning to read charted patterns and work in the round. We will explore techniques including cluster stitches (shells, puffs, bobbles) depending on your skill level, then look at samples from my new book to demonstrate how motifs can be used in finished projects, learning how to join the motifs together with a professional finish. Participants must at least know the basic stitches, UK double crochet, half treble and treble crochet to join the class.
