Fo' Shawl!

I know summer's almost here, but you guys might have some use for a shawl. Malls can be cold. Offices can even be colder (especially if the airconditioner is centralized and you have no control over it). I have 2 colors available on sale right now. I made these myself. It's 101% handmade love!

Green!

Scarlet!

If interested, please send me a private message at my Facebook Page: Crochet by the Gantsilyo Guru.

If you are interested to have the same shawl in a different color, let me know! This can be a made-to-order item.

Workshop 5: Basic Crochet on Feb. 23 at Craft MNL

Our 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM session for this workshop is already full! BUT we have decided to open a morning session for those of you who are interested to join. It will be from 9:00 AM - 12:00 NN.

This workshop will be your introduction to basic crochet techniques.

It will also be our goal for you to finish a granny square at the end of the workshop. Even if takes some time for your hands to get used to the motion of manipulating the hook and yarn, it is possible for you to accomplish something :)

This is my only basic crochet workshop at Craft MNL for February. Check out some outtakes from my previous workshop last December 22 at Craft MNL here.

Workshop fee is P1,000. This is already inclusive of your very own crochet kit: 2 sets of acrylic yarn, 3 balls of mercerized cotton, double-ended steel hook, scissors, and patterns.

To register for this workshop, please go to this link. 

Craft MNL is at Unit Y, The Collective, 7274 Malugay St., Brgy. San Antonio, Makati City.

At Home With Crochet: Workshop 2

I had another private workshop with the same group of ladies I had a workshop with last month (check the first session here). We also welcomed new company!

Our supplies for this session. Notice the folded spread on the left? That's the African Flower Bedspread I made last year! This is its home now. And I'm proud it belongs to a lovely family and home.

Those who attended the first session got so excited to crochet that they literally went to a yarn store and bought yarn and hooks right after our workshop. Raquel's one of the excited ones :) She is getting really good with crochet. In fact, after this session, she was able to crochet a big flower. And yes, that's her own personal yarn stash. I regret not being able to take pics of the other stuff she has already crocheted. She did a lot already!

Since attending the last session, Jacqueline has already started on an afghan for her daughter. She is also one of the brave ones to crochet in an airplane! She began this afghan in an airplane!

Looks like Luz is a budding crochet teacher as well. Check out what she already did since our first session. She definitely got hooked!

This is Tyzia and Christine working hard on their crochet. They're making granny squares!

I wish I had taken more pics! I always feel like I'm in a crochet bubble when I conduct my workshops and forget about documentation :p Here you can see the group in their own crochet bubbles.

My thanks to Tyzia for hosting this workshop in her place and for being uberly welcoming. I am formally welcoming Jacqueline, Angelique, Raquel, Christine, Mila, Luz, Jasmin, and Tyzia to the Rockin' Chair Club! Looking forward to seeing what you will be creating with crochet :)
