This #HappyVonday post is the most recent update. 🙂
Sadly, the Intro to Entrelac Crochet Basics class has been dropped due to low enrollment. My apologies to all who signed up; hopefully, you’ll find something else that strikes your fancy!
Y’all still have time to register for my FOUR remaining crochet classes!!! #knittinglive
Check out my classes and sign up quick; they fill up fast! #knittinglive
Granny Squares are a crochet staple! I’ve tweaked my Mom’s ‘recipe’ and worked out a join-as-you-go method for an option besides whipstitching.
Bavarian Crochet is one of my favorite uncommon techniques, and can be easily incorporated into traditional crochet in many ways!
The African Flower is another great motif for using multiple colors; your possibilities are endless!
Stitchapalooza explores swatching a variety of not-so-often used stitches from which you can create your own sampler!
I. Can’t. Wait!!!!
For today’s #HappyVonday post, I’m gonna play a little hardball.
For years I’ve heard people complain (and have voiced my complaints as well) that crochet is un(der)represented in the overall industry, and at many yarn-centric or fiber-related events. I realize the nature of these events cater to knitters; however, both knitters and crocheters use yarn and/or thread; seems a simple fact to me.
I’ll skip statistics, ’cause that’s not my thing, and if ya really wanna know, you could always research it; I’m also gonna avoid ‘buzzwords’ and ‘speak’. Some crocheters have been consistently vocal about having ‘equal time’, and it’s becoming more obvious that pockets of the industry are taking notice.
That being said, I have high expectations about people putting their money where their mouth is. If you don’t support crochet where strides are made for it to be available, you can’t complain about not having the opportunity.
Now is here. Here is now. Go forth and register for crochet classes at Vogue Knitting Live. If mine don’t float ya boat, you have options. Partake.
This #HappyVonday post is more of an update. 🙂
I will spotlight a different class each day this week, so stay tuned!
General registration is LIVE for Vogue Knitting Live!!! For those who’ve been wishing for more crochet classes…wish granted!!! #knittinglive

Entrelac is not just for knitting! If you’re familiar with Tunisian Crochet, take those skills to the next level.
The African Flower is another great motif for using multiple colors; your possibilities are endless!
Stitchapalooza explores swatching a variety of not-so-often used stitches from which you can create your own sampler!
With all sincerity, I thank you for your kudos and congratulations, but the greater measure of your appreciation would be to register for classes! 🙂
I look forward to seeing and sharing with you then!!!
Greetings, my crochet peeps!
On this #HappyVonday, I have very special news to share: I’m teaching at Vogue. Knitting. Live! #knittinglive
I have five crochet classes on the schedule. Registration opens to subscribers for VIP Packages this week, so check them out and sign up early. If you snooze, ya might lose!
For us crafty folks, it’s gift-making season: about that time to gear up and hunker down!
Some of us are ‘making a list’; the more efficient of us started right after the last holiday season 😉
With fiber festival season upon us, it’s also time to keep our eyes peeled for beauties and bargains to add to our bounty. Turn those things into a handmade item and it has the makings of becoming a treasured heirloom!
I know you’re thinking you have plenty of time, but don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. It’s not too early to think about Christmas and the holidays if you’re making your gifts…but it is much too early for the decorations to be on sale!!!
Time seems to go by faster every year; before you know it, you’re up in the weeeee hours of the morning, thinking to yourself ‘just one more row’…
When the talk turns to fall, my fiber peeps know what time it is: Sheep and Wool season!
If I’ve missed any, y’all know what to do…hit me up at @vcbcrochet!
