ALUMNI CLASS! CROCHET 102: Falling Blossoms Shawl with Penelope THIS IS A VIRTUAL CLASS

Calling all Virtual Crochet 101 alumni!  If you prefer virtual classes, this class is for you!  The Falling Blossoms Shawl by Ana D is an intermediate crochet pattern.  It is a suitable project for crocheters who are proficient in basic crochet stitches and are ready for a challenge.  In this course you will learn new stitches and techniques, including how to follow a written pattern, chainless starting double crochet, and how to add beads to a crochet project.  This class will meet virtually on Zoom.  Penelope will send log-in and gauge swatch information after registration is complete.

For best results, a solid or tonal yarn made of natural fibers is recommended.
