Calendar Next available session starts Nov 2, 2026 at 6 pm

Do you have a crochet project that is stuck, confusing, or just not turning out the way you expected? Bring it to the Fix-It Lab, a relaxed, hands-on workshop designed to help you troubleshoot your crochet projects, understand what went wrong, and get back on track with confidence. You’ll receive individualized guidance for issues like dropped stitches, uneven edges, pattern confusion, or unfinished projects—this is not a “start a new project” class, but a chance to make progress on what you already have. We’ll help you identify and fix common mistakes, count stitches and rows accurately, clarify patterns, and learn how to “read” your crochet work so you can create a plan to finish. Basic crochet skills (slip knot, foundation chain, single and double crochet) are recommended, and participants should bring their current project(s), yarn, hook, scissors, and any patterns they are using.
