2nd Introductory Crochet Craze Workshop @MAAD

By popular requests, I did another Introductory Crochet Craze Workshop @MAAD last Sunday. This time, it was full house with 5 Crochet Craze newbies! Check out their beautiful virgin project - knotty mobile phone pouch! :)

"Betsy is a patient teacher & for a beginner like me who has no experience in crochet, I feel very accomplished when I completed my mobile phone pouch. Although I made lots of mistakes, she was willing to guide me along in correcting me. I have certainly learnt a lot during these 2 hours. Thank you, Betsy!" - Evelyn, 7th June 2009

"Thanks, Betsy! I have a wonderful afternoon learning the crochet technique from you. Your instructions are clear & you are patient. Hope to have the chance to learn more from you. Cheers!" - Ellen, 7th June 2009

"Haha back again for a second mini-workshop with Betsy!! Because she is such an attentive teacher. :) Finished a cute pouch under 2hrs! Crochet is amazingly faster than knitting indeed. haha, good for more 'instant-gratification' projects :)" - Amy, 7th June 2009

Meet Funky Knitter, Christie

"Hi Betsy,

Thanks for teaching me the knitting skills, which is Greek to me when I first approached you. You are definitelya  very patient person as teaching me is not easy due to the fact that I am not a crafty person and I am very impatient... Moreover, you are not selfish to impart me the knitting skills. Really appreciated the effort you have put in to teach me and I have my first and one of its kind knitted handphone pouch. Looking forward to start my next project soon!!!" - Christie Lim, 13th May 2009

Meet Crochet Craze - Elaine

Elaine hopped over from her stall last Sunday @MAAD to try her hands at crochet too! Appreciate her enthusiasm despite several "distractions" when there were customers at her stall. Luckily our stalls were just opposite each other :P

"Betsy is a practical & realistic instructor, she does not promise you the sky about what you can do with basic crochet skill. Hence, with my existing craft knowledge, I am able to gauge how far I can go, how good I want to be for future projects. However, I felt that 2hrs is not enough for for a first-time crochet enthusiast to finish up a handphone pouch (on our own). But it is a very good introductory lesson to get a taste of what hard work is all about. I had fun during her workshop, which explore the cor-ordination between fingers of 2 hands, unknowingly increase unnecessary stitches, and with a lot of help from Betsy, I am a proud owner of a iPod cover. :P

Thanks for the workshop, I would continue to practice my crochet skill next MAAD." - Elaine, 5th May 2009

meet Crochet Craze - Jeslyn

Jesyln attended our Special Introductory Crochet Workshop @MAAD last Sunday.

"The workshop is very basic, just nice for someone like me who has never touched yarn before & who has no experience in crochet or knitting. It's good for me to learn & get the feel, & for me to see if my interest is there.

The duration is just nice, but probably need a few more lesson to complete a (proper) project for beginner (1st-timer like myself).

Thanx for the patience & guidance!" -Jeslyn, 3rd May 2009
