Crochet is one of the most widely used pastimes and has been passed down through generations, creating an entire legacy of crocheted afghans, throws, clothing, accessories, and more.  The word "crochet" is derived from the French croche, meaning hook.  The first crocheting in China originated as a type of tight weave needlework called "tambouring".  Crochet that began in the 16th century in England and France consisted of thinner, homespun thread making chains of delicate lace.  Crochet has become a best-loved handcraft.  With hook and thread, agile fingers are capable of producing an endless variety of beautiful modern and traditional designs, each with its own special charm.  Many folks feel that crocheting is an excellent way to reduce tension.  Come join our crochet class and leave with a beautiful "stress-free" project!
