    Hi, any crochet intermediate course given??

    January 9, 2013

    Hi girls,
    Have you scheduled the Needle Felting 101 yet? I be interested :-)

    Hi Lisa and Melissa,
    Just wanting ti chime in with Anne Leclair, I would be interested in an intermediate crochet course if you guys ever planned one. Crochet 101 was a lot of fun.
    Also wondering if in future you might consider intermediate level lace or colour work courses? Or possibly, knit-a-long type courses with intermediate level projects, such as with the sock course. I really appreciated the courses I did take with Mona.

    Thanks and keep up the great work!

    January 23, 2013
    • Hi Barbara – thanks for your comments! Not sure about an intermediate level crochet course at this time as instructors are difficult to come by and Virginia has her hands full with the Crochet 101 courses at the moment. We have been thinking about introducing some knit-along type courses though – I’ll keep you posted as soon as we firm up plans!

    I am interested in learning how to knit a sweater. I have already mastered the basics and standard knitting skills….is it possible ?

    January 23, 2013
    • Of course it’s possible! C’mon in and we’ll set you up with a good “first sweater” project and help to get you started. And we’re always available for help along the way ;-)
