Crochet Class Announcement and a Giveaway

It's here! Well… it's almost here… but close enough to have a little pre-launch celebration for my NEW Craftsy Class: Introduction to Crochet Cables

Folks who follow our escapades on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram know I took a little trip to Denver, Colorado back in December. If you were watching closely, you even noticed me posting a photo like this. 

Yup… that's me on set in front of THE Craftsy logo!

(Note the inclusion of the cover of our new book Designer Crochet in the set dressing… hehehe…)

So some of you probably had a little clue that we had a class in the works with the folks at Craftsy but now we can let the proverbial cat out of the bag. WOOHOO!!

As you can see, this class is a FAB fav topic of ours: Crochet Cables. We LOVE crochet cables and in this class I take you step-by-step through the process of how to make basic crossed stitches all the way through those glorious sweeping, turning, dramatic cables we all love. Along the way, I share all of my tips and tricks to make crochet cables fun and easy!

The exciting part is I teach you all of this using a FAB project! You get to apply what you are learning right away without wondering how you are going to use these stitches in real life.

The class project includes a written pattern, a chart, and finishing instructions. But ya know what? Because this is a Craftsy class, I'll be right there with you to walk you through how to make the cable stitches AND how to easily read a cable chart AND how to finish the project. You have me personally taking you through step-by-step from the very first stitch through weaving in that last end (there's a special trick I share there too).

Oh yeah… if you've been around here very much, you've probably noticed one of the small photos is of our WILDLY popular Woven Cables crochet pattern stitch. Yes, there's even a segment of this class where we walk you through the Woven Cables pattern stitch step-by-step!

We designed this class with so much FAB information… when you are finished, you'll be shocked by how nimble your crochet hook is around cables!

The BEST part of these Craftsy classes is you can watch them whenever, and wherever you like and you can watch them as often as you like since your purchase never expires! AND you have exclusive access to me personally! No kidding! I'll be following along with you and answering your questions in the Craftsy forum JUST for this class.

I have been a big fan and have taken many Craftsy courses myself in the past to build my skillz. Now… I'm a Craftsy instructor too!! I can't tell you what a thrill it is to be able to teach you all on this amazing world-class platform. And the good news… 

By the time we are finished, you'll have a FAB finished project. Here's a sneak peek at the class project pattern. In class we turn your cables it into a FAB envelope clutch!

Even if a clutch isn't your thing, I'll be sharing in the class forums how I used this exact pattern to make a special project just for myself! You'll have to wait till class starts to see that one…

My class Introduction to Crochet Cables is coming out REALLY soon! WOOHOO!! To celebrate, the folks at Craftsy are letting us give away FREE access to my class to one of our fans. That's YOU!
