Hi!

Have already posted about myself - (see profile)! Hope you are all well, anyway

Just a quick message - is anyone is interested in learning to crochet? I know...how old am I? I am hoping to gather enough interest over the coming months to be able to hold small workshops in one of our many Bedlington venues. I am a fully qualified further education lecturer and have become a more serious crafter since being made redundant for the second time in 3 years.

For example, I may hold a Christmas decoration workshop or a gift-making workshop, in which I can teach you the skills you need to complete something of your own. I will include materials if required, and of course refreshments!!

Prices will be:

Individual tuition: £10 per hour or £15 for 2 hours.

Workshops: £20 per person (includes materials, refreshments and covers overheads)

Crochet is a very skilled craft and will enable you to create some wonderful personal items that make wonderful gifts. It's a great stress-reliever and can help keep hands busy when giving up smoking. It's also portable and can be as expensive a hobby as you want it to be!

Please, please, please let me know! I have given out quite a few cards already and can only make this happen with your help!

Thank you and bye for now!!
