If you've always wanted to learn to crochet, join our Beginners Crochet class in Point Grey that starts this Friday evening, 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. Just two classes and you'll be a happy hooker. Our entire lesson schedule is right here.

Join us in Point Grey on Sunday, April 27 at noon, when Astor will demonstrate the technique.

Our special yarn this week is Laines du Nord Cleo, at 30% off. It's a chunky cotton yarn, with 14 stitches and 18 rows to a 10cm square. We have a great range of cheerful colours. Enjoy!
