Learn to Crochet with Lynda

Description

Begin your crochet journey learning from a qualified Crochet Teacher –  Lynda Tomkins.  

Lynda has been teaching people of all ages to crochet since 2015, and continues to teach existing crocheters new skills and techniques at her weekly classes and annual crochet retreat.  

Tuesday afternoon group sessions run for two hours – 12.30 – 2.30pm.  

During these sessions we progressively cover the basics of crochet – learning how to hold the hook and yarn; making the key stitches – chain, double crochet and treble; increasing and decreasing; working in a circle; making a granny square and reading a pattern.   (not all in the one session). 

Each week we build from the knowledge gained in the previous week, and how you went with your at-home practice work.  That way you drive the pace of learning that suits you.  

If you are completely new to crochet my recommendation is to have 3 x 2 hour lessons (if you purchase these at the same time you will get a voucher towards buying materials when you come into the store).  

If you already have some basic knowledge, the sessions will begin with a review of what you know and help you progress to the next level.   

If you need specific help for a particular stitch or help with a specific pattern, pattern reading etc, book into our ‘Crochet Clinic’ here.  

These sessions will be run along side the Learn to Crochet Sessions.   You can also sign up for private one-on-one sessions by contacting the store.    

When you sign up to the class you will receive an email with a coupon code that will entitle you to 10% off the purchase of a hook and yarn for these lessons (10% off regular retail prices).  If you are serious about crochet we recommend you use a hook with an ergonomic handle – Clover Amour – size 4mm.  We also recommend you select the Superb 8 as your learning yarn – as it is not too expensive and is a good quality acrylic – or Catona cotton.  Both of these yarns work well with the 4mm hook.  

Lynda’s qualifications include: Completion of the Certification for Teaching Crochet – Levels 1 and 2 – with the Craft Yarn Council of Australia Completion of Masters of Advanced Crochet Stitches & Techniques with the Crochet Guild of America.

Being an Instructor for the Crochet Teachers Certificate run by the Crochet Guild of Australia.   

She has also regularly run workshops at craft events, including the Crochet Guild of Australia conferences.
