Two Crafty Hearts Crochet Class

Hey Guys! I've had SO MUCH interest, in people wanting to learn how to crochet. So if you follow us on Facebook, you have seen all the info. But here goes...

I've had other classes before. And as you may have noticed, this one is going to be for 2 2-hour sessions. At the Unser Library. The address is 8081 Central NW. The library is on the northwest corner of Unser and Central. The classes will be held on June 19th and 26th, from 6-8PM.

I will be charging $35 per person. And if you'd like for me to pick up your supplies, it will be an additional $15. You will need to contact me ahead of time, if you want me to pick up your supplies. You can send me an email here.

If you will be purchasing your own supplies, please bring a size I crochet hook. And 2 colors of 4 ply yarn. Such as Red Heart, I Love This Yarn, or

We will be learning the granny square. This will be a beginner class. By the end of the class, you will have made a set of potholders. Something like these...

But you will learn how to go on, and make a blanket. By making one large granny square, similar to this...

Or by using smaller squares. And connecting them. Making a different blanket.

I know, I have also received lots of interest in private lessons. I'd recommend taking this class first. And if you feel like you need further instruction...we can chat.

If I don't hear from anyone, by June 18th...I will postpone the class a week. And the dates will move to June 26th and July 3rd. Don't forget to email, if you are interested. You can also view our Facebook Event💕

New For 2018

Hi guys! I hope everyone had a good Christmas. And has a safe New Year's. Me? I've been buried in crochet orders. My Mom and I have managed a little Christmas fun, with our friends. And some quality time with my grandma.

But I've been thinking about so much for this year! beginning with our CALs. One of my favorite things. And about getting a bit more organized. Also, having a place for people to reach out, and chat a bit. So I'm starting some Facebook groups.

For those of you that participate in our local Learn to Crochet classes...we've got a group. I know it can be difficult, when we only meet once a month. So I thought this would help a bit. I think it will help me as well. I get a lot of the same questions. And I just feel like, this will be an easier way, to communicate with everyone.

For our customers and fans, I've also started a group for you. A place where I can let you know where we will be selling. Maybe show some of the items we are working on. Be more interactive with our customers.

Lastly, I started a group for our CALs. This group, should be the most fun. A place to interact while we make things. And speaking of CALs, I've already picked the first 7 for the year! Of course, I'm using free patterns. With one exception. For the first time ever, you'll have to purchase one pattern. I think it is for $5.

Here's a quick look of our Two Crafty Hearts 2018 CALs...


This is one of my favorite, go-to gifts. I think all of my girlfriends, my Momma, and a few church ladies have all been gifted this Sweet November Shawl. It works up so fast. And darn, I can't find any of my pictures. But it is a beauty!


This sweater...I fell in love with it! The moment I saw it. This is the one CAL, that you will need to purchase the pattern for. But I think it is well worth it!


I'm always wanting to make blankets. I find it a little difficult to stay motivated. You know, past a baby blanket. So I think this shall be fun. And a ripple. I do love the look of a ripple. Although, I think I've only ever made 3 in my life!


I came across this Hopscotch baby blanket on Facebook. I saved the picture to my phone...but not the link. And it took me a while to find this. Once I knew what the pattern was called, it was no problem!

I just like the look of this blanket. A little vintage. A nod to the Call the Midwife blanket, that was so popular a year ago. Something that I can imagine my great-grandma creating.


I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with monkeys. I don't know what it is. When I saw this, I wanted to make it immediately! It really is cute. :) But the pattern is only for the applique. For our CAL, I want to include a Granny Square blanket as well.


I've also been quite obsessed with amigurumi food lately. I think it is always a good thing, to throw in a quick CAL. You know, after making a blanket. Or something large.


Lastly, I picked a dog. Why? It's the Year of the Dog! And let me tell you, it took me a looong while to pick a pattern. All the ones I wanted to make, required you to buy a pattern. But I was really set on making a dog.

As always, I'm open to your suggestions. What would you like to see? As far as CALs go, I try to stay with free patterns. I try to have a variety of projects and skill level. But if there is a pattern that you are interested in...please let me know!

Come back tomorrow, and I'll let you know what CAL #1 is. I'll be posting the pattern link and materials needed. On Fridays, I'll be posting our goal for the week. I think it will be better than Sundays. See you tomorrow! ðŸ’•
