A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at lockpicking last night in TOG.
I started off the night with an introduction into the different tools and locks available, as will as some ideas of what I would like the lockpicking group to do. We had 21 people in attendance! I couldn’t believe it. It was evident by me running out of picks for everyone. Thanks for understanding.
Sean uploaded some videos of the night here: http://vimeo.com/groups/142714
See you in two weeks for the next session. We will be doing this every 2nd Tuesday. I will have more tools for everyone by then 🙂
Back due to popular demand, Lockpicking Group shall reform to meet on a bi-weekly basis starting from Tuesday 22nd May 2012 from 7:30pm.
I will kick it all off with my presentation on lockpicking, going through the different types of tools and locks. Then after we will take out the box of locks and get our hands dirty, and (hopefully) pick some locks.
Beginners welcome, locks and tools are supplied.

This event is open to the public and FREE. No booking required.

During the class you will learn the basics, how to hold the hook and yarn, how to do chain stitch, how to do double and treble stitches. By the end of the class you should be well on your way to starting your first granny square. Continue reading “Beginners’ Crochet Classes”
