We are now mid summer holidays and it’s that time folkes to start thinking about Halloween Crochet 👻🧶

Our next stepping up from basic crochet will be teaching you how to make a Halloween Wreath to have on your door.

It’s a fab session teaching you how to make pumpkins, leaves and other little delights.

This beautiful wreath in my picture was kindly gifted to my by so I can’t take credit for this one.

Check out the link in our bio to book on our workshop. Even better Bob down to the shop. It’s chatty Wednesday, pick up a ball of yarn and the group will help you make a start on your first pumpkin 🎃

See you soon
