Learn a new skill for 2012! I'll be teaching crochet courses at Purl City Yarns in Manchester's Northern Quarter in January and February for beginners and intermediate crocheters
Learn to Crochet
The course will run from 11 am - 4 pm on Saturday, 28th January and covers two sections, First Things First and How to Read a Pattern. More information about the course follows below.
First Things First: an introduction to the basic stitches, terminology and how to tell when it's going horribly wrong. At the end of the class you will have started a sampler with several stitch types. You will have learned how to make a foundation chain, double and treble crochet (and maybe more) and spot common problems.
Intermediate Crochet
Sunday, 19th February, 11 am - 2 pm
This course takes you beyond the basic stitches and gives you the confidence to tackle lace, textured stitches and working in the round. We will also discuss working with written and charted patterns, adapting and combining, and designing your own patterns!
Students should be comfortable with the basic stitches: sl, sc/dc, dc/tr and hdc/htr, and should be able to follow beginners' patterns.
How to Read a Pattern, when you're tired of making rectangles, this is your next step. You will learn how patterns are structured, how to test your gauge, how to read charts and how to join pieces together.
The price for the entire course and materials is £54.99. If you would prefer to bring your own materials, the cost of the course is £40.
