Yes, it's true...Crochet Workshop is back on the calendar with a new six week workshop presented at the Amherst Public Library in cooperation with Pat Catan's of Amherst. Vivian will be there to help you review some of the stitches we learned in previous workshops and to get new members up to speed. Then we're off and running for six weeks where we'll make a scarf, six more weeks of winter you know, and then learn a new afgan pattern.
Bring along your size J crochet hook and a skein of "Peaches and Cream"
yarn for the first night and any project yarn you choose after that. For those looking for more instruction check out some of the crochet books and DVDs we offer at the library. Crochet Basics, by the editors at Vogue Magazine, has some patterns perfect for beginners. Instructional DVDs and even books for left-hand crochet have been popular choices.
Younger crochet enthusiasts will appreciate Crochet Fantastic Jewelry, Hats, Purses, Pillows & More by Jane Davis. A great pattern is included for slippers and the photos in the back will get you started with basic stitches or act as a visual reminder after you
leave the workshop.
Crochet with Wire by Nancie M. WIseman proves that crochet is not just for yarn as she takes you through some designs using light gauge wire along with beads and findings. For the rebellious at heart, check out Anticraft: Knitting Beading and Stitching for the Slightly Sinister by Renee Rigdon. Crafting with pagan overtones is presented in some fun projects including "Bad Eggs" and a Skull cross stitch pattern. The Tree of Life and Death is a beaded shine using peyote stiches and advanced beading techniques. The wican skirt might make a hit at the next staff meeting.
