Next week's Freeskilling (www.justfortheloveofit.org) is called *Crocheting edges and links* and we are meeting at the Better Food Co. Cafe, St Werburghs @ 7pm Tues 10th Nov.

Come and practise your crochet on some bits of knitting. You can use doubles and crab stitch to edge or join anything especially stretchy things. Please bring a crochet hook that you like using, but not too big (between 2-5mm) and a jumper you want to change into a cardigan, if you have one. I'll have some of my scrap yarn for people who don't have any. Beginners can learn the basics without having to do that difficult first row. Improvers can ask questions, learn and share techniques, or make a new universe entirely out of crochet, depending on your level.

Here are the rest of the Freeskilling evenings for 2009:

How to make Sourdough Bread

Richard will show you the very simple and fun stages involved in making a basic loaf of sourdough bread for you to take with you and bake at home. He will also supply each participant with a small batch of sourdough starter for you to bring with you after the course and hopefully maintain for years to come and pass on to your friends and family. Please bring: 1 bag of plain white flour plus 1 bag of any other flour you wish to use (spelt, wholemeal, whatever...), a handful of nuts or seeds or both and some fresh herbs if you wish, a bowl to keep the dough safe for your journey home and a large jam jar or similar for the sourdough starter.
