NOTE2: Make sure this is the right course for you. If you’ve never held a crochet hook in your hands, this is a great place for you to start! If you’re looking for a relaxing hobby that allows you to create something with your own hands that you can be proud of, you are warmly welcomed to join us!

A few things to consider before committing to the course:

•Know your level of commitment. This is a short series of classes. Each class begins promptly at the designated time and will progress at a steady pace. If you cannot arrive on-time, prepared for each class, you may fall behind. If you have a sudden change in your schedule, please communicate prior to start of class to arrange another time.

•Ensure you’re able to arrive prepared for the class. This means:

•You have all pre-posted tools & materials, and(list will be sent to you after registration)

•You can give your full attention for the duration of class.(phone silent, no outside distractions)

•Join us with a positive attitude, ready to learn. Negativity that distracts or diminishes the experience of other learners is strongly discouraged. Disrespectful or aggressive language or behavior will not be tolerated, and refunds will not be granted if you’re asked to leave due to this behavior.

The Instructor for this class is Rebekah, a crochet designer from New Hampshire. In her own words .....

At 8 years old, my mother taught me how to crochet, and over the last 30 years it has grown from a hobby into a real passion. Crocheting has been a positive outlet for my creativity; a way for me to focus and relieve stress, and more recently, a wonderful way to meet other crafty people. After Covid, my crochet projects increased in quantity and complexity. I started a small business called Create Fearlessly, first opening a shop on Etsy to share tutorials and patterns, posting helpful beginner crochet videos on YouTube, while crocheting custom orders for friends and family. Now, I have items on display, and for sale, at local businesses in Manchester, which allowed me to connect with the organizer of community classes at the Manchester Makerspace. Here begins an exciting new chapter of my crochet journey! The crafting community promotes a strong sense of belonging and I look forward to sharing my skills and welcoming others into this space!
