This paid workshop is open to all 18+ women and non-binary members of our Community.

Crochet isn't just about making; it's about creating connections, both with the yarn in your hands and the community around you. It's a portable skill that offers relaxation, a sense of accomplishment, and an endless possibility of projects.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll get started on creating a handmade lightweight scarf, and walk away with the skills and materials you need to finish it. Don't worry if you've never crochet before; this event is designed with true beginners in mind. All it takes is a bit of practice and a desire to learn, and you'll get the hang of it in no time! Cassie and Jen will guide you through the basic stitches and techniques needed to start your crochet journey. 

All supplies included; attendees limited to 10.
