About the Event
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:
This workshop is suitable for: Level 1 Beginners
Maybe you've attended one of my Level 0 Workshops or you can crochet the basic stitches, but haven’t yet mastered granny squares. NOT suitable for absolute beginners (Level 0)
In each of the four sessions you will learn a new granny square technique, and along with the balls of recycled cotton included, you will be able to realise your own granny square dreams! You will start with the traditional, classic granny square and the subsequent sessions will build on that foundation knowledge, introducing new stitches and techniques along the way. You will also learn techniques to join them together to make bags, cushions, blankets and clothing
