Learn to Crochet and Yarn Bomb! Term 2 2025

During term 1 of this year participants in the Yarn Bombing class made a spectacular start on the yarning the granny squares and creating the blankets for Pride month. These blankets will be on display in June in celebration of Pride Month. We will continue this project during the 2nd term and we welcome anyone who participated in first term, and new folk, to join us. Whether you are experienced in crochet or not, a member of the LGBTIQA+ community or an ally, you are most welcome. Once the blankets are proudly displayed on the trees the class will move onto other lovely projects for the final weeks of the term. This is a 10-week program, but attendance is relaxed, so you are welcome to come along when it suits.
