Crochet Group

Before Christmas, several ladies said they would be interested in starting a group in this area for people who crochet. I was thinking we could find a place like a coffee shop or maybe even the classroom at Micheal's craft store to get together once a week or so. Anybody else interested??

I'm interested in learning how to knit also, if any knitters want to join in.

 

kaci would probably prefer to join a croch group.

 

I am a beginner but would be interested if you welcome newbies. I work crazy hours but please let me know when and where you would get together.:hurray:

 

I would be interested. I can crochet and I knit a little bit. I got an electric yarn winder for christmas. Need to try it out.

I would also be interested.. I crochet and knit using the loom ( ski caps, scarves etc. ) Let me know what your plans are.... THANKS !!:hurray:

 

I would be interested too, let me know when and where.

 

I'm glad there's an interest in starting a group. I think it would be a wonderful way to meet, learn, and have some fun.

What are some convenient hours and days for each of you? I'm pretty flexible. Also, any ideas on where would be a conveniet place to meet? I will call Michaels and wherever else I can think of to see what's available and at what times.

Thanks.

 

I would like to join too.

 

I am interested as well. I am only available on the weekends. Thanks!

 

I would love to join also. i'm "trying" to teach myself but i can only go in one direction.

i work retail and am usually available during the week. sorry no suggestions on a gathering place.

 

I might be interested as well. I can do a few patterns (basket weave and chevron) but would like to expand.

 

I would like to join as well, might not be much..my hours change every week, don't have the same days off. When I go, my daughter is most likely going to have to go..no sitter and no money to get one. lol.
No idea where to met though.

Is this group accepting students? :lol:

 

Spank you very much. :mrgreen:

 

I'd be interested in joining too, depending on the time. Early evening works best for me. Not sure how much I can teach a beginner, but I'd be glad to show anyone who already crochet's how to make the pineapple square afghans I make.

 

Can anyone teach how to read patterns? I still would like to one way or another.

 

I've never been able to read patterns...I understand what the abbreviations are but I'm a "show me" type of learner. Unfortunately it has limited what I can make!

 

I just googled pineapple square afghan - beautiful - but is it difficult? Would love to learn it. Because I'm a show-me person, I usually do the chevron, granny square and basket weave.

 

I don't think it's difficult, just time consuming. The squares consist of chain stitches, slip stitches, and double crochet stitches. Lots of counting!!! I don't know how to post pictures here or I'd gladly show you what it looks like.

 

It just so happens that I have taught myself some basic crochet skills over break (the chain of course, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, double half-crochet). I am interested in a group. Let's get the PMs going and exchange email addys so we can come up with meetings that work for everybody.
