Learn about crocheting at Granny Squares 101: Crochet for Beginners
on Sunday, Jan. 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in The Studio.
Led by fiber artist Billie Theide, students will learn the basics of crochet,
how to chain, create basic stitches, change colors, read work,
fix mistakes and bind off; and join squares to create dishcloths,
coasters, bags, scarves, pullovers and throws.
Each student will leave with at least one uniquely designed
crocheted “granny square” that can serve as a start for a bigger blanket, scarf, bag, and more!
$95/person* (Ages 13+; 13-15-year-olds must be accompanied by an adult,
who does not need to register.) Register here.
Registration will close Jan. 8 or when capacity is reached.
All sales are final.
