You've asked for it, so we're trying it. Each Saturday, Linda will host a 2 hour help session where you can bring in your current project and ask for tips and advice, chat with friends, and learn some insider tricks along the way as Linda helps everyone in the class. This is NOT the place to learn the very basics of crochet (there's a class for that), and also not a substitute for a private lesson (if you need her full attention for an entire hour, please schedule a private lesson). It is a set time where you can get your crochet fix away from the distractions of home, and a time where Linda can help you fix your crochet (and knitting), plus answer all of the questions that come up as you are working. She can also help you find new projects to inspire you.
Prerequisites: Learn to Crochet, or equivalent familiarity with basic crochet stitches. Basic knitting help also available.
Cost: $15 per 2 hour session, meets Saturdays from 12-2 PM. If only 1 person signs up, the class turns into a 1-hour private lesson.
Each Saturday session is limited to 6 students max, please sign up in advance to guarantee a space. Drop-ins are welcome as long as there are spaces left in the class. For weeks where only one person attends, the class will turn into a 1-hour private lesson instead of a 2-hour session.
