I am working diligently to finish 2 crochet kits that will be on sale at my workshops at Syfestivalen (Craft fair in Stockholm). One is a cotton set of two small bags with flower decorations. The other is a simple granny square cushion cover in beautiful gradient sock yarn.
I am holding the workshops everyday at 11 am, 1 pm and 3 pm in collaboration with Nysta, one of my favourite yarn shops that is now only operating online. At the fair there will be ready-assembled kits in various colour schemes, but you will also be able to buy the yarn separately from Nysta at the fair or online. I will probably publish the patterns here afterwards (or on Ravelry, whichever seems more convenient).
Two of my other crochet classes (for Folkuniversitetet) have also been confirmed: beginner's crochet and granny squares.
I feel a little more confident this time, although I know there are still things to improve and perhaps change. I got some great inspiration in the post just yesterday!
Don't worry. As beautiful as your knitting is, you'll learn crocheting in seconds! It is so simple & has so fewer stitches to learn compared to knitting - plus only one needle.
