Are you wanting to:
 
learn the basics of crochet?
enhance your existing crochet skills?
re-fresh on some forgotten skills?
spend a relaxing time crocheting with like-minded people?
 
Then look no further – this workshop could be what you are looking for.
 
Everyone is welcome on this 3 hour workshop running from 10am-1pm regardless of whether you have never crocheted before or are a seasoned crocheter. I will have a range of different flowers for everyone to work on so that we can get everyone working on something geared to their own existing skill levels.
 
A selection of acrylic yarn will be available to use during the workshop plus crochet hooks to borrow in the session. If you already crochet however and have a certain type of hook you prefer to use you are welcome to bring those to use. We will be using Double Knitting Weight yarn so 4mm or 4.5mm are most appropriate.
Common myths around crocheting:
‘I am left-handed so I can’t crochet.’
Not a problem. I am left-handed and can demonstrate the techniques with either hand.
 
‘I can’t follow a pattern’
Don’t worry I will have a selection of small projects which I will talk you through explaining the stitches and terminology and the charts which some people prefer to follow.
 
‘I have tried learning on YouTube but find the terminology confusing’
The most confusing thing about learning crochet from YouTube is that most of the instructions there use US terminology which is different to UK crochet terminology. I will touch on these differences as I take you through the patterns on the day which will all be in UK terminology.
 
This half day workshop is being hosted by Our Crafty Place CIC in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. It will be taught by Melinda from Handmade by Melinda and can be booked directly with 'Our Crafty Place' via the attached link.
