SUNDAY 1.30-3.30pm
Crochet very often brings to mind granny squares and doilies, but there is so much more to this wonderful and versatile craft! In this workshop, we will look at how to create beautifully textured fabrics that expand your crochet skills and open up a wide range of possibilities.
This workshop will cover post stitches, waffle stitch, lemon peel stitch, shell stitch, and for those feeling confident, jasmine stitch.
For this workshop you will need to be confident in the following techniques: holding yarn and hook, chaining, UK double crochet (US single crochet), UK treble crochet (US double crochet).
 
Please come with your own yarn and a hook appropriate for the yarn weight. Any size will do, though I would recommend at least DK so that you can see the textures that we produce.
 
Nicola is an incredibly keen crafter, and crochet and knitting pattern designer. She has a teaching background, so is very used to giving instruction and encouraging people to try things they don’t necessarily feel confident with!
In addition to designing and writing her own patterns, she established and ran a Stitchcraft and Knittery club at her secondary school, which was rather popular with students from Year 7 to Sixth Form. As a result she can instruct both left and right handed crocheters, and is accustomed to fine-tuning techniques until you find the way that works for you.
