We're getting back to the basics of what women used to do when their husbands were out working the land (or something like that). With the morning chores done and quiet time to themselves, women would make or mend things with their hands, always productive.

With so much handiwork becoming a lost art among women these days, I'd like to offer a workshop on basic crochet. After you learn a couple of simple concepts, you can make a beautiful scarf, a hat, or a soft baby blanket to start with.

Here's what you'll need:
1-2 pkgs. yarn
crochet hook - the size you'll need will be on the back of your yarn packaging. If you don't know, bring any size and we'll work with that.

If you absolutely have NO interest in crochet, then you can make a fun fleece brooch like the one pictured below (I will have all of the materials here), or bring your own project and enjoy the company!
