Crochet Basics | December 14, 12:00-2:00pm
Intrigued by crochet? Want to make a hat, scarf, or amigurumi but not sure where to start? Just looking for a fun and relaxing new hobby? This workshop is for you! Join guest teacher Missy Stevens to learn the basics of crochet, including the fundamental stitches and tips for reading beginner-friendly patterns. You are encouraged to bring your own skein of worsted weight yarn and an H-8 or 5mm crochet hook; supplies may also be borrowed from the Makerspace.
Missy Stevens is a maker and studio artist who uses thread, fabric, and clay to create unique pieces inspired by her connection to the natural world. After learning how to sew as a child, Missy has since explored many forms of textile art including weaving, embroidery, crochet, and the punch needle embroidery technique she uses to create richly colored thread paintings with densely stitched loops of sewing thread. Her work has been shown across the country and has been featured in many books and magazines.
