Learn the basics of crochet, even if you have never held a crochet hook before!  This course will teach you how to read and choose a pattern, select materials, assemble pieces, and finish projects with step-by-step instruction and support along the way.  It is taught in the style of the working bees from our history, where the instructor will demonstrate a skill, then students will have workshop time to practice those skills.  Over the duration of the course, students will work together to assemble friendship afghans using a granny square pattern to build skills and confidence.  Topics covered by the course will include: learning the tools of crochet, learning how to read and understand a pattern, practicing stitches and swatches, blocking, assembly, and finishing borders.

Myriah Davis has over 25 years of crochet experience, creating everything from dishcloths to stuffed animals.  She creates both finished pieces and patterns as part of her work in the field.  Her goal in teaching these courses to share her enthusiasm for fiber-crafting, and to inspire others to continue to learn and share this time-honored tradition.
