Introduction
By Gill J | Group Leader
When I started to crochet I learnt from books, YouTube and my mum as most people do. However, at a certain point, most of the materials out there end up in two categories beginner or advanced. I couldn't see a way of progressing my skills through that no mans land of intermediate and I kept getting stuck, which made me frustrated as I couldn't make the things I wanted to make.
I then discovered the Knitting and Crochet guild (https://kcguild.org.uk/) who are is a UK Charity dedicated to sharing and helping people discover the joy of crochet and knitting. They help run branches all over the country with like-minded members who share their love of handcrafting with yarn.
However, most of the groups that in my area were mainly knitting focused and not crochet. So I decided to set up a branch under the guild which would focus on crochet and teach people the skills they need to get from beginner to advanced.
​
We have been going since 2018, and in that time we have made some beautiful items and I've met some fabulous people on our journey.
​
We meet face to face as a community group based in Daventry in the UK, but since the Coronavirus pandemic, we now meet online via Zoom. Our group is non-profit and dedicated to sharing knowledge about crochet to inspire people to try out new patterns and ideas that they find with confidence.
