beginner crochet May 6 - anyone else signed up?

Jamie LemmonApr 22, 5:31 AM

already crochet for gifts but want to learn proper technique instead of my self-taught mess ๐Ÿ˜‚ do we need to bring our own hooks/yarn or does the class provide them?

Krista JohnsonApr 23, 6:58 PM

Same boat with the self taught mess, Jamie lol.

Marilyn BolanderInstructorApr 24, 11:36 AM

Krista's right, bring your own hook if you've got one already, a size H or I is fine! I'll have extra hooks and yarn on hand for anyone who shows up empty-handed, so don't stress if you don't. Jamie, "self-taught mess" is basically my origin story too, my first scarf came out a trapezoid. We'll fix your habits gently.

Oh I love this thread!! ๐Ÿ˜Š Jamie, your "self-taught mess" made me laugh, that's SO most of us lol!! I taught myself continental crochet ages ago and I still probably hold my yarn wrong, no idea, lol. Marilyn, an H or I hook is what I've got sitting in my someday-project bin!! Anyway, siginng up too!! ๐ŸŒž So exicted for this, for sure!!

triangle vs trapezoid, we could've started a shape support group lol.

Vickie, holding the yarn "wrong" for decades and still making things is basically a technique at that point, we'll just call it yours! Kellie, a triangle beats my trapezoid.

Marilyn ๐Ÿ˜‚ "we'll just call it yours" is exactly the energy I needed lol... so six weeks later and granny squares are finally making sense to me. I'm finishing up a baby quilt commission at the same time so squares are pretty much muscle memory at this point, lol. Thanks for teaching us technique instead of just letting us keep our messes ๐Ÿ’› Thanks!
