Crochet Instructor Training in Texas

crochetclasswithvictoria

I had the opportunity to visit Lonestar Yarn in Bedford, Texas for Instructor training and certification with the Craft Yarn Council. Thank you to Kris, bottom left, who was a fantastic hostess for this event at her store. The training was led by Linda Dean, Master Crochet Instructor with the Crochet Guild of America. I learned so much from her and these instructors from all over the country and I am inspired for the new classes coming this fall!!

Another thank you to the following sponsors who allowed me to use and take home a huge variety of yarn and supplies to share with Des Moines students:

@yarnspirations

@cascadeyarns

@lionbrandyarn

@dmc_crafts

@cloverusa

@prym.americas

@crochetguildofamerica

@lonestaryarn

@craftyarncouncil
