Hooked on Crochet

Hooked on Crochet

Crochet is making a comeback and is more than just a craft; it's a way to relax, express creativity, and connect with others. As you pick up your hook and yarn, you'll discover the joy of making something beautiful by hand.

Whether you're new to crocheting or want to improve your skills, this class is for you. In addition to a comprehensive introduction to the basics, instructor Gail Phalen will cover several fundamental stitches – including slip stitch, double crochet, chain stitch, and slip cording.

With expert instruction in a supportive environment and hands-on practice, you’ll leave with the confidence to start your next crochet project AND an adorable, practical ‘Rhapsody Soap Sack’ (aka potpourri sachet, gift bag, essential oil or bath bomb bag…) that you made yourself.

Ages 12 and up.

A Little About the Instructor:

Gail lives in Rolla with her husband Bob and their cockatiel, Punkin'. She is a member of the Rolla Fiber Arts Group and teaches workshops for needle felting and crochet at the Rolla Public Library and Salem Creative Arts Center. Gail also dabbles in Tunisian Crochet, Amigurumi, and Knooking. (You will have to ask her to explain that one)!

For the Safety and Enjoyment of Everyone

• Dress for the occasion as you will be walking on rocky roads and grassy uneven field surfaces. Comfortable shoes and sunscreen are highly recommended. We also suggest wearing insect repellent and a sun hat.
• We have many pollinators working in the field during bloom time. If you have bee or other severe seasonal allergies, please take personal precautions.
• No smoking, vaping, or use of tobacco is allowed during your visit.
• Although we love dogs, you will have to leave them at home. Our farm is a working farm and residence, to protect our lavender plants, fields, and landscaping, we do not allow pets or other animals. Please contact us in advance if you have a service animal.
• We kindly ask that you “leave no trace” and carry out anything you bring in. Thank you!
