crochet club 2011

the crochet club was launched in january 2011 and in 2011 we had 250 members - the design of the project was based on art deco design, specifically the design of the original wurlitzer juke boxes - all yarns were from the rowan range and beads were from the debbie abrahams range - over the course of 6 months members created a colourful crochet panel which included techniques such as chevron and wave crochet, beadwork and jacquard crochet - the club had the added bonus of a dedicated blog which explained all techniques and offered tips to help members work through the project

'i entered my 2011 crochet club wall hanging in our village show and i got the trophy for the best in show - i was totally overwhelmed as there were many village heavy weights and myself a mere outsider - thank you for making this possible - all the best' - mary

'just thought i'd let you know that i entered the blanket in the crochet section of the local show and it won first place! i also won second in that and first and third in the knitting and first and second in the cross stitch - a friend keeps telling me there's a reason that 'midsummer murders' is set in a village and i should watch my back! - warm wishes' - paula

'wow! i have finished the project - thanks for a rewarding 6 months with a beautiful product at the end that i am really proud of - you have given me a lot of pleasure - thanks for all your help and advice - the patterns were clear and easy to follow - the blogs contained lots of useful hints and advice and i feel that i have learnt a lot and really developed my skills in crochet over the last 6 months' - linda

'i have loved this project and as a novice i am really pleased with the final product - it has pride of place on the sofa in my front room for everyone to see!' - ros
