Latch Hook Crochet Art During Covid 2020 I worked on my own crochet art using a fine latch hook. The one I used came as a latch hook tool for my knitting machine. I loved doing this, but my focus now is on teaching Latch Hook Crochet. I will be introducing more Cordcrochet once I have fathomed the best way to sell my Cordmaker. Moving from Shropshire, selling our smallholding, moving to rented accommodation In North Yorkshire, then buying and moving into our own house has been epic. Being overwhelmed with online learning, finding Skool and now Substack all takes time. CordCrochet will be on the menu and I look forward to sharing this new craft. Btw… you can order a Cordmaker straight from me! Or win one in our Easter Challenge!

Let me know how long the basic yellow part of the mask takes to do! 15 minutes? I will pop this into the Classroom as a permanent beginners crochet idea using a latch hook and just chain and slip stitch. ( you may still use a traditional hook ) Meanwhile I have copied the instructions from my book ‘ Crochet Art for Schools and Beyond’ which has a few other easy beginners projects too. Available on Amazon. Do you have kids or grandkids who would like this challenge? I am hoping to get started with this in my in person Saturday class and with kids on Wicked Wednesday… so let me know if you would like to join me there for guidance How to make the mask ok.

Fluffy Owl is a Brownie leader. I grew up with a Brownie Leader, it was my mum and her name was Brown Owl… I much prefer Fluffy!! I know just how much love and dedication it takes as a volunteer in Girl Guiding . My mum was a Guider, We were all guides , including my Dad who was known a Sir Brown Owl! Lisa is a member of our community and she said she would like to teach her Brownies how to crochet, which is amazing because she would need to learn how to crochet first. Lisa is one of the first to complete the Yarn Bag Challenge , so let’s all congratulate her on this achievement! So last night, between us we taught 9 Brownies how to crochet their first bracelet using a latch hook. Some even made a flower necklace and it was one of those best ever nights, seeing the enthusiasm from everyone including the leaders. I think the children really enjoyed being able to wear what they made. Thank you so much Lisa for this opportunity and for teaching these kids so much.

I forgot I had a few bits on there, but never sold anything. I needed a video of me using the Cordmaker . Unfortunately I haven’t got the right set up that I used to have for video s I need to set something up propper in my craft room. I use a very basic video editor… video editor for numskulls ! will post when done. This stuff takes ages….best part of two hours! My tripod came apart… Now to post on Etsy…I guess I knew it wouldn’t be that straightforward. First create a privacy policy okay…. It’s done Now to upload this video?
