Crochet classes with Anne Quinn at Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery

We are delighted to welcome crochet tutor, Anne Quinn to Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery. And today was a busy morning as beginner's learned how to hold the hook, feed the yarn, create a foundation chain stitch and double crochet. With these skills we started our first project: a mobile phone cover. Wasting no time Anne showed us how to create our first flower motif. And even a quick run through picot stitch (which we will cover in more detail in another lesson).

We were hooked!

Anne brought along a number of examples to show us.

And showed us some alternative possibilities for crochet....using coloured wires and a selection of beads these necklaces can be created.

Anne had a beautiful christening robe, bonnet and shawl as well as these little booties, rosary bead set and an example of lace-making.

Although we are only beginners, we have been inspired to practice and perhaps one day we can aim to create some heirlooms like Anne's work!
