Sunday 23rd August
12 noon - 2pm
Ocean Room, Scarborough Spa
Author of the sell-out sensation, The Granny Square Card Deck series, designer Claire Montgomerie will be teaching a fabulous workshop showing you how to read crochet charts and use the decks. In this workshop, Claire will introduce her decks of 50 bright and fun motifs and demonstrate how to use the cards and charts. Everyone will get to pick their own motif to hook from any of the decks and will use the charted pattern on the reverse to make it, all the while being carefully guided through any new techniques by Claire. We will be working in the round, plus depending on your skill level, perhaps looking at how to create some more advanced stitches like cluster stitches such as Shells, Puffs and Bobbles. This is a two hour workshop where the techniques are demonstrated and explained, which you can then put into practice as you follow one of the cards. Claire will also be available to answer all your queries about the decks and to sign copies.
Skill Level - Improver, participants must at least know the basic stitches, UK double crochet, half treble and treble crochet
