Winter is a time for coziness and crafty-ness so we'd like to get you guys creating...
How about a quick crochet lesson to make your own granny square? This is such a simple skill to learn and the humble granny square can be turned into so many things - blankets, scarves, buntings, cushions, the list goes on. You'll be amazed at the satisfaction you get as you turn out your first square! We're hoping to run a series of casual workshops on market day to start you off (Sat 18th June).
Workshops will run at 11am, 12pm, 1pm and 2pm. Cost will be just $8 per person (cash to be paid on the day) and you'll get to take home your crochet hook and ball of wool used in the session. If you'd like to register for a class, please email us at thesquarebendigo@gmail.com and specify what time you'd like.
We are in need of a couple more instructors, would you like to share your crochet skills? We'll be organising informal sessions of about an hour for an instructor to sit with 4 or 5 people and create a granny square. Sound like something you can do? In exchange for your time we'll be passing on a few dollars to spend at the market :) Do get in touch with us via email.
Check out some granny square inspiration over here... so many variations and colours!
Look forward to hearing from you!
Im so annoyed this is on a Saturday where I have to play sport! I'd love to attend, what a great idea!

If you still need people to instruct in making granny squares I could help out for a while.... Roz.
