Classes Updates

Thank you everyone for taking the poll!!  It’s greatly appreciated.  I will keep it open for next 2 weeks, so if you have few minutes please leave your feedback.

So far the most popular class is on learning to make crochet socks.  I am thinking of offering it at the end of August.  How does it sound? It most likely, it will be a 3 hour class.  We will do a mini version of a toe up socks in a basic stitch.  We will talk about different yarns and what’s best for socks, hook size and stitches that work best.  I would like to cover the construction of the sock including gusset and 2 types of heels: after through and short row, stitches that works best for cuffs.  By the end of the class you should be able to design your own sock or be confident when selecting a pattern.

Another popular class is on reading crochet pattern. So far it’s added to the calendar on July 16th. If this time works for you, please register (you don’t have to pay right away).  It helps me organize and schedule everything.  All the days and time on the calendar is not set in stone.  I am flexible.  If you like the class, but the day (or time) does not work for you, let me know.  We will work to make it happen when it’s good for everyone (or at least for those who contacted me ;)).

This is what I do, about 5-7 days before the class, I check RSPVs.  If no one is registered, but I know that someone wants to take it, I will email and ask (no pressure, don’t worry) sometimes things just happen and plans change, or more likely we forgot to register (I guilty of it too).  If that particular days does not work we will push it.  This happened with crochet Cables sock.  I had it scheduled for Saturday, we started talking and well Saturday did not work for anyone, so we moved it to Sunday!  I am really enjoying teaching it (second part is this Sunday, and girls will design their own finger less mitts, exciting!).

Also some classes without registered attendees might be moved a week or two, or canceled.

Another popular class was on learning to work in the round, ultimately crocheting hats and toys. I am thinking of introducing the way of working in the round: adjustable ring, working increases depending on the stitch. Probably have some discussion on when joining every round with slip stitch is important, and when it could be skipped, and how it will affect the pattern.  Closer to the end of the class I will help you to select a pattern to implement your newly learned skill. And we can either have a continuation class on following that pattern, or you can work it on your own.  What do you think?

Another thing I wanted to mention is that there will be no weekend classes in September and October.
