Crochet Circle - Counterpoint Throw-This is a relaxing 2 or 3 hour informal class where we all sit around the table or on the couch and talk, listen and learn how to make this beautiful blanket. You will make your blanket square by square every session until it's done. You can continue at your own home if you want or just save it for 'circle' time. I would suggest saving your first 10 squares for Circle time as it can be a little confusing and you don't wont to have to rip it out and start over but it's your choice! There is no time frame for completion! Must have 2 per class. Bring your own yarn and crochet hooks. I would love to help with your yarn and hook choices if needed. First two sessions - $35. The following 3 sessions - $15 then after that $10 per session. Wine, Tea and light snacks will be available. We will be meeting on Tue. and sometime Wed. nights beginning at 6 PM.
