EGAD: Beginner's Crochet Class | 11/2 @ 3:30 pm
Have you always wanted to learn crochet, but didn't know where to start? Maybe you've tried in the past, but you gave up? If so, you're in the right place!
Hello, my name is Priscilla, and I own The Stitch Queen Crochet! I have been crocheting for almost 15 years and I am self taught, which, in my case, means lots of library books and confusing (to me) YouTube Videos. So, I love being able to show people how to crochet in person, it's so helpful!
In this class, I will teach you the basics of crochet so that you can start right away. These basics include: how to make a slip knot, chain, single crochet, and work in rows. I will also be sharing tips and tricks that I have picked up in all of my years of crocheting so you can skip a lot of the headache I had when I first started. Examples of this include: how to count your stitches, different ways to hold your crochet hook, etc!
So if you've been dreaming of crochet, this in-depth and in-person class will put you on the path to success! I will be there to help you every step of the way. There will be no crocheter left behind You will also get resources to keep on learning + practicing after you leave the class!
What you'll need: a 5.5mm Crochet Hook and Medium Weight (4)Yarn. Don't know what that is? No worries, I'll bring plenty for you to use and take home if you don't have your own. There are only *8* seats available, and you must purchase your ticket via the link *in advance*! They sold out last time, so get in as soon as you can! See you in class!
Age Recommended: 13 + Up
