Love playing with beads? Let’s turn that stash of shapes, sizes, and colors into something happy! In this class, you’ll crochet a cheerful beaded necklace using crochet cotton yarn. Your finished piece is 40” around and can be worn as a layered necklace or wrapped around your wrist as a fun bracelet. If you can chain, you can make this! Your kit comes with seed beads, larger accent beads, yarn, stringing materials, and the pattern. You’ll need a size C (2.75mm) crochet hook—we’ll have some for sale ($6), or bring your own. You’ll leave class with a finished, wearable, happy-beaded creation and the skills to make more!
I teach knitting, crocheting and Tunisian crochet classes at several yarn shops and art centers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul/St. Croix Valley area. One of my passions is knitting and crocheting with beads. I teach classes at ThunderWillow Community Arts in Hudson, at the Ramsey County and Hudson libraries, as well as through Hudson Community Education. I have been teaching professionally for seven years. My background as a graphic artist in the publishing industry facilitates my ability to design, write, produce and publish my patterns. I learned to knit continental or combination style at seven years old from my grandmother, who had to teach me in order to get her own knitting back from me! I live in western WI, with my husband, and the boss of the household, Thomas Edison, our stray kitty who came to stay. I am Yarn Happy Bead Happy!
