Crochet Calendar through June

There's only one more class scheduled at Classic Cottage for April and that is a Beginning Crochet on April 30.

On May 21 between 10:30 and 12:30 I will start a new knitting class called Moving On With Knitting. Here is the description:
This class is for anyone who is comfortable with the knit stitch and ready to learn to make the purl stitch. Once you can knit and purl and learn to identify the placement of each stitch, you can create: ribbing, smooth stockinette fabric and a world of textured stitch patterns. We will make a small amulet purse and learn to decorate it with duplicate stitch embroidery. You will also learn to make a twisted cord.

Also on May 21 and for 2 hours starting at 1:30, I will present Moving On With Crochet. This class is: For those who are comfortable with working single crochet in squares and rectangles. We will learn the half-double crochet stitch and the double crochet stitch. Then we will explore several ways those stitches can be used together: in rows, in textured stitch patterns and in motifs.

In June, I've scheduled a class that knitters and crocheters alike can benefit from: Working With Stripes for Knitters and Crocheters. There's more to making stripes than you could ever imagine! Come and learn how to apply both mathematical and random numbers to your creative projects. We will also be discussing simple color harmonies.

These classes are in beautiful Bowling Green, VA. For more info about the Classic Cottage classes please call Carrie at 804-633-0032.


I'm also very excited about my workshop on scrumbling, to take place at LibertyTown Arts Workshop in Fredericksburg, VA. The date is June 11 between 10:00 and 4:00. Scrumbling is such a great way to experience crocheting intuitively. It has an impressionistic look and can be quite beautiful!
