Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby=Crochet

Shannon has been in and out of our store for years--now he is joining us to teach our crochet classes. He has expertise and he has charm--and he is published. This month his design appeared on the cover of Britain's popular Crochet magazine.
If you need to learn the basics, he is there every Thursday from 6-8 pm. The fee is $25.
If you know the basics, but need to brush up on a technique or have a problem with a pattern he can help you at $10 during the two hour class period.
Last week Shannon taught Ruthie an elastic base chain which will free her to make designs with more ease and comfort.
The drop in format has been a great success for our Wednesday knitting classes and we hope to make this your go-to place for two hours of good creative hooking. Come join the fun.
