Back 2 Basics: Mar30 Basic Crochet Workshops
It was an unexpected turnout for a workshop on a holiday.
Because they all showed up and decided to learn something new that day :) We had a morning session attended by 6 crochet-curious ladies.
Most of them were taught crochet in grade school or high school, but they needed a refresher after so many years of not picking up a crochet hook.
With the looks of it, I don't think they have plans of stopping crochet now :)
See? :p
The PM batch was a mix of beginners and "refreshers." There were 6 ladies and 1 guy. Yes, there's a guy :)
There's actually nothing new about guys crocheting or knitting. Check out the blog post I did about it here. By the way, ladies, Ryan Gosling knits :p
He can do no wrong :) He went with his girlfriend and decided to learn crochet. He really can do no wrong. And now, back to the ladies...
Crochet is a challenge in the beginning. It takes some time for you to "loosen up" to the grip and motion of crocheting, but when you do find your groove, you get the feeling that you can crochet anything!
After this workshop, I can proudly say that I have taught 65 people (so far) how to crochet. There's so much to share about this craft! I'm thankful for those who have attended my workshops. Sounds cliche, but they have taught me as well on how to be a better crochet teacher :) Thank you for the opportunity!
Keep crocheting!!!
Hep hep hooray for crochet!!!

Workshop 8: Amigurumi Workshop on Apr. 7 & 20
Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting (or knitting) stuffed animals or anthropomorphic creatures (or objects). Learn how to crochet an amigurumi creation and get tips on how to create your very own!
I have 2 workshop dates you can choose from in April:
April 7, 2013 (Sunday), 10:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Fully Booked, Bldg. 6, 902 Bonifacio High Street,
Participants must have basic experience of crochet. When I mean basic, if you know how to make a chain, do single and double crochets, and slip stitches, you're qualified! We want to make sure that we make good use of our workshop time by teaching you an amigurumi pattern and tips on how to eventually create your own. We'll cover amigurumi basics.
Workshop fee is P1,500. This is already inclusive of your very own amigurumi kit: 5 sets of acrylic yarn, double-ended steel hook, fiberfill, tapestry needle, stitch marker, scissors, patterns, and 5 pairs of googly eyes. You will also get a screen printed tote bag from Craft MNL!
