Hi, I am Kim Gronquist and host of our local Crochet Guild. I have been crocheting for over 50 years, and truly enjoy sharing my love of crochet with others. Currently, I am enjoying making fun little amigurumi critters, but I have made everything from intricate crochet lace dresses, to giant rope playgrounds, and of course afghans.
Join us for our Monthly Meetings in Bothell…
Whether you are just getting started or are a long time crocheter, this guild is for you. Feel free to join us for Social Crafting on the 1st Fridays as well.
Our meetings will have a fairly casual structure:
- Introductions
- Show & Tell (things we are working on, or proud that we finished)
- Tips & Tricks (we will try to have at least one new tip or technique to explore at each meeting)
- Social stitching time (use this time to get help with something you are struggling with, or just find motivation to get through your pile of in-progress projects)
- Door prize(s) – each meeting will have a giveaway item for random winner(s)
Virtual Crochet Guild on Twitch now too!
