Crocheting a Chain

 


Crocheting can be a lot of fun. Once you get the foundations down, you can really get going with a nice freeform yarn craft. Check out the video above to see how to start a crochet chain! 



There is a little bit of a stigma that Crochet is just granny squares and hats, and you definitely can crochet both of those things. However, crochet is an extremely versatile fiber craft and you can get amazing results with a hook and yarn. You can shape things in extremely creative ways to make a beautiful sweater or shawl, or you can keep it traditional with something like an Afghan or baby blanket. 

One of the best benefits of crochet is that you can finish projects very quickly. In addition, you can stop what you are making suddenly, if you decide you are at a place you would like to end. There is a lot to be said for crochet. 

Let us know if you are interested in crochet classes, as we are starting to put them on the schedule. You never know. It might be your next favorite hobby.

    I am looking for someone to teach me how to crochet something more complicated than a simple baby blanket. Do you know of someone? Constance 510-282-2272

      Hi Constance!

      Local yarn stores are a great resource for classes. If you would like to give us a call at (509) 368-9527 we will be able to help you further.

      We do in person classes and tend to try and tailor our classes to what our Fiber Buddies are looking for. Online classes work for some people as well. But, fear not, there are people here and at Local Yarn and Fiber stores that can help!
