Portage Library to offer "Crochet 101" July 20

HOUGHTON -- Librarian and crafter Rachele Lambert will teach "Crochet 101" at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, July 20, at the Portage Lake District Library. This beginning class will teach the joys and benefits of crocheting; explain the difference between crocheting and knitting; discuss tools, yarns and how to read a pattern; and teach crochet lingo. Stitches taught will be the foundation chain, single crochet, double crochet and finishing off. A short project is planned that participants may take home.

If participants have their own supplies from UFO’s (Un-Finished Objects), Grandma’s attic, or from when they thought they could teach themselves, please bring them. If not, supplies will be provided.

"Come and join the crochet adventure," Lambert said, "and learn a fun, creative craft for a lifetime."

Children are invited to Storytime from 11 a.m. to Noon every Monday with Maria Sliva and alternating Wednesdays with the Houghton High School Key Club. These programs include stories and a project.

All library programs are free and everyone is invited to attend. For more information, please call the library at 482-4570 or visit www.pldl.org .
