I’ve been wanting to offer online workshops for years now, so I’m happy to announce that my first one is live and ready to go! I teamed up with online education company, Sympoz to produce an in depth crochet course that takes you from what supplies to buy and why, to making your first chain stitch–all the way to producing granny squares. Crochet Lab is a fully interactive way for me to teach, without you having to leave your house. Whether you’re a knitter who’s always wanted to learn to crochet too, a crocheter who just needs a little refresher, who simply someone who thinks it’s high-time to get crafty, this course is for you!
You can either purchase the whole course, or just an individual lesson–whatever works for you! Once enrolled, you can interact with classmates, ask real-time questions based on exact places in the videos, upload photos of projects that you’re stuck on so that we can trouble-shoot with you, have access to resources & course materials, and much more! Here’s what the
-The supplies you need to get started and how to chose them for specific projects
-Different types of yarn and crochet hooks
-How to measure gauge and what it’s used for
-How to read a crochet pattern and chart
-How to hold the hook and yarn correctly
-How to make a cute and handy cozy for your tech gadgets
-Chain making
-Single crochet
-Half-double crochet
-Double-crochet
-How to make a practice swatch
-How to make granny squares
-How to finish your projects so they last and look great
PLUS: you’ll receive great beginner patterns, for a bulky, two-toned scarf, amigurumi (just a fancy word for a crocheted toy bunny), two toddler hats, and more!

I had purchased this class online a while back. My PC had software issues and my files were deleted and now I do not have the class. I paid for it and I am requesting to get it back again for my granddaughters to watch while they are here.
Please let me know how I can get it back.

I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Susanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!...
The sample yarn for both palettes of this year’s 12 Days of YAY! Advent Box have arrived. I cannot wait for stitchers to open up a new color everyday!
I don’t want to spoil the shade surprises, but I can share just how much yarn we’re sending you this year — FIFTEEN mini hanks of beautifully hand dyed yarn, by two rad boss-lady dyers.
Historically, we have sold out of these so I’d you’re prone to FOMO, be sure to pre-order tour 12 Days of YAY!
Nineteen years into this knitting career, it’s crazy-pants that I’ve never had Learn to Knit or Learn to Crochet kits before. So, I finally made it happen. If you know someone, or ARE someone that wants to learn — while also making something wearable— check out our new hats and scarves kits in the YarnYAY! Shop!
