We have exciting plans for our Crochet Workshop and I can’t wait to share them with you! Taught by Elisalex de Castro Peake, this class takes place the last Thursday evening of each month and we are now going to be offering a fabulous new project in each workshop. This is the perfect class for students who know crochet basics and want to continue developing their skills. If you’re a complete beginner,try our Introduction to Crochet class and then join us for the workshop! Upcoming projects include:
- September: Cosy slippers
- October: Cat-ear headband
- November: Snowflakes
In our August class last week, Elisalex taught us how to crochet this set of pretty rainbow coasters. We’ve created a kit and she developed the pattern so now you can make them too! Buy your kit in the shop here and read on for instructions to create your own lovely set – the perfect hostess gift or a treat for yourself? You decide!
