Crochet an Adorable Fruit Bag Charm

Crochet a whimsical fruit charm for your bag! Choose to make the watermelon, lime, lemon, apple, or kiwi. We'll be crocheting them in the round - so you'll learn all about the math (not hard, I promise!) of crocheting flat circles, as well as tips on crocheting in the round, starting with a magic ring, and changing colors.

A little bit of embroidery, a little bit of stuffing, and joining with crochet will finish off these adorable charms. This is a fun and satisfying project for those that already know the basics of crochet: how to chain, single crochet, and count stitches.skills! 

Learn Tatting and Make Earrings!

Tatting is a very interesting lace-making technique using a simple shuttle and crochet thread. In this workshop, I'll teach you the basics of tatting and then guide you through making your own pair of delicate lace, tatted earrings!

You'll learn the basic tatting stitch, how to create picots, join rings, and tips on loading, holding, and using the tatting shuttle. Then, you'll make a set of earrings, choosing from a few simple designs that will allow you to practice your newly learned skills!

I'll have lots of examples of tatting - some old and some modern - that will inspire you and show you the possibilities with tatting. There's a whole world of lace making that you can discover by starting with this class.

No previous experience with tatting needed. There are similarities to macrame and friendship bracelet techniques, so experience with those crafts is helpful, but not required.
