My beginners class this morning went very well!

Last week we worked on Flat Rounds, in preparation for learning Granny Squares today and that's what we did - Granny Squares - YAY - I love Granny Squares, however I forgot to take photo's so I will have to send them to you next week!

Day 80 is this "Rose Pink" square.  Another new colour for another new day!

And here they all are - no 2 squares are the same colour so far

And that's all thanks to either pupils or Twitters like @alithealien who donate scraps of wool to me - I had a lovely surprise in the post today from Ali so thank you Ali xx

Now for the Intermediates

As you can see they have worked really hard on their crochet projects

 With Join as you Go being a firm favorite

We have already come to the end of this 4 week workshop - where did the time go??
The good news - Crochet news - is that they all want to come again for more classes!!!

Yarntastic Day 15 - First Day of Group Classes

What can I say?

I had a YARNTASTIC day today.

It began with an Intermediate Group Class this morning

 We made my 1,2,3 Squares

One was made using a 4mm hook and the other a 3.5mm hook 

Notice the difference in size!!

It was a class where we revisited various techniques and covered or should I say tackled the "magic loop" and Join As you Go method.

Homework was set for next week and my ladies went away happy hookers!!

 This afternoon I took a Beginners Group Class of 4 & fun was had by all.

We went through Foundation Chain, Double Crochet and Trebles too!

Homework was set and as they all wanted to learn to make Granny Squares by the end of the 4 week course, that's something that we will be covering next week.

I got a lovely email from one of the ladies this evening:

Ali, Thank you very much for this afternoon's class. I really enjoyed the whole event and thought you took us very clearly through the new experience. I'm hoping I can now do justice to my homework!I'm looking forward to next Tuesday

My idea from yesterday actually worked today as I "borrowed" a nice new colour from one of my intermediates, so Day 15 was created and in class too!! 

Yarntastic!
