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:
I’m excited to attend instructor training in Texas in August to meet other instructors and get new ideas and techniques for teaching crochet.
I’m also at work on new course material and courses for Fall 2026! Classes will continue in Des Moines with expansion to new places with new programs this year. Be sure to check the website http://www.crochetclasswithvictoria.com and subscribe to keep up with upcoming Fall 2026 classes and events.
Stay tuned as Crochet Class will begin anew this fall! I look forward to seeing you!
This ten-year-old crochet friend is tackling a circular blanket with a flower edging. She learns so quicky and has put a lot of thought into the yarn for her project. It has been fun working through the pattern together. Look out world, because I know this very young crochet artist is going to impress us all with her work!!! Check in to see her completed project!
I have made this child’s pumpkin hat several times around Halloween for children in my life. It takes less than one skein for yarn and just a few hours to make. This time I spent a lot of time on the written pattern.
Since I haven’t shared the pattern in previous class material, I will share the pattern with subscribers.
