Event Details
*Update 12/12/2020 - The class is now full. If you join the waitlist, you will still be able to attend the zoom event, but we cannot provide the supplies. All you will need is a Size K crochet hook and about 364yds (200grams) of medium weight yarn in colors of your choice. If a registered person does not pick up their kit before the program, and does not attend the program, their kit will be given to a waitlisted person that did attend the program.
Let's crochet a winter cowl.
Before the class, you must be comfortable creating a starting chain and know how to complete basic single crochet and double crochet stitches. If you can do those, you will be able complete this project. I have included links below to both Kristin's Crochet Tutorials on YouTube and to several crochet classes available for free to FRVPLD library card holders via CreativeBug. Have patience with yourself if you are just beginning. I have been crocheting for almost 25 years. Once thing I have noticed is that everyone holds their a hook a little differently. It's the same with holding a pen or pencil. Ultimately, the best way, is what feels comfortable to you.
Register in advance and pick up your free supply kit that comes with a crochet hook, yarn and tapestry needle. Attend the live Zoom workshop for instructional demos, tips, crochet community and troubleshooting questions. Written instructions for reference will be sent to attendees after the program.
