Baby Lovey – CROCHET

Looking for a quick project for that baby shower that appeared out of nowhere?  Sure, you could make a full-size baby blanket, but a lovey will be twice as cute and take half the time! This class will teach not only a basic Granny square (session 1), but also the very basics of amigurumi stuffed toys (session 2).  You’ll walk away with a quick, unique project that will stand out in the piles of onesies and toys. Crochet Queen Jo Emanuelson will teach this 2-session class 2 to 4 pm Fridays, Jan. 12 & 19; OR 2 to 4 pm Thursdays, Feb. 8 & 15.
