Just Hook It, Michael Sellick

Fall 2012 Exhibit: Crochet Carnival

Daniel Zondervan came up with the concept of Crochet Carnival in April 2012. In helping to celebrate Creativ Festival's 25 Silver Anniversary, he thought it would be awesome to celebrate along with Creativ using a festive, happy and colourful scheme. Crochet Carnival was born.

We have a number of activities happening at our booth #349 on the show floor. I'm teaching 5 courses that are part of the festival's conference program. Courses are listed below. We are close to selling out all courses. I opted for only 10 students so that learning would be better and more hands on with help being readily available.

  1. Schacht Weaving Looms & Autographed How to Weaving Book.
