Crochet - Blossom Cowl
A brand new class from the beautiful crocheter Mel of the blog Loved Handmade.
Teacher: Mel Tonzing
Description: This full day class with Mel will involve re-visiting basic crochet stitches to create a shell-like pattern. Spending a full day will enable you to become comfortable with your technique, learn what to do with mistakes and pick Mel's brain about all things crochet. It will be a relaxed session, with plenty of time for tea, bikkies and a chat.
Materials: You will need to bring 200gm 8ply yarn (Mel likes to get hers from Bendigo Woolen Mills as they come in 200gm balls..they also deliver nice and quick), 4.50mm or 5.00mm crochet hook (either size will be suitable for this piece) and a tapestry needle.
Takeaway: By the end of this workshop we will be well on our way to creating a snuggly winter cowl that I’m certain will be a staple wardrobe piece!
Level: This class would be great for those who have a basic knowledge of crochet who want to extend their skills and really understand the structure and rhythm.
Workshop Length: Full Day
So I wrote last week a post asking “Is my making fast fashion?”. And then I did a video on Instagram discussing similar topics in a slightly different way. And as always, you lovely humans have helped me clarify some of my thinking with your thoughtful, clever commentary.
And while I think there is so much more to discuss, here are four key possibly-more-meta ideas that have come up for me out of those conversations.
In using the quote last week that suggested that there was no single answer, and suggesting that this was freeing, I really did mean that we should sit in the grey. Not that the lack of “an” answer to this question should mean we get to ignore the question but rather that the lack of “an” answer means that we need to keep asking bigger more beautiful questions. And keep asking them.
Is my making fast fashion?
Am I living my values or merely thinking them?
And how can I make those two things a little more aligned in this moment?
These are my big beautiful questions.
Yours might be different.
And importantly this leads to point 2.
