Launceston Brown Owls - Crochet Toy Animals

Hi there Launny Owls,

This month's Brown Owls is on Thursday 14th at the Design Centre in Tamar Street at 7.30pm. This month the wonderful Melanie Kershaw will be showing us the art of making crochet toys. Details are given below of all that you will need, or bring along your own W.I.P as usual. RSVP by leaving a comment and the first 20 are in.

Please bring a 4mm crochet hook and some 8ply wool. It would probably be helpful to have several different colours, but there'll be a bunch of wool and some spare needles in a variety of sizes there so don't worry too much if you don't have it. It doesn't really matter what size needle or wool as long it matches up ok (so, a size 2 needle would need 4-6ply wool, a size 3,4,5,6 needle would need 8 ply wool, bigger the hook, the bigger the wool), it's just that a 4mm hook and 8 ply wool is easily handled and is kind of mid-range.

If you have an idea about what they'd like to make then they can bring their own pattern, but Melanie will bring a few copies of a pattern that outlines several different little animals, like a turtle, rabbit, bear, mouse etc.

Oh, and a wool needle will be helpful too!

Look forward to seeing you there.
