GET HOOKED ON HISTORY AND CROCHET!
Who knew a simple hook and a ball of yarn could create so much history?
Did you know that crochet became one of the most fashionable pastimes of the Victorian era? By the mid-1800s, crochet patterns were appearing in magazines and instruction books, and everything from delicate lace collars to elaborate bedspreads was being created one stitch at a time!
Crochet wasn't just a hobby. It was an art form, a practical skill, and a tradition passed down through generations. Now it's your turn to keep that tradition alive! Join the Troutdale Historical Society for a fun and creative afternoon at the Barn Exhibit Hall Museum as Jamie LaCour of Mama Jamie's Crochet leads a special hands-on crochet class! Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, discover new techniques, or simply spend an afternoon surrounded by fellow crochet enthusiasts, this is a wonderful opportunity to unwind, learn something new, and create something beautiful! In this class we will be crocheting Pumpkin or Apple pie keychains!
