About Sally Richards
Sally learned to crochet at around 11 years old, starting with basic granny treble groups. Having then spent 30 years in the textiles industry working with fabrics she discovered there was much more to crochet than making blankets. It wasn’t until she started her own business that she began to explore its full uses and potential. She mastered a variety of stitch patterns, and has completed many products over a number of years.
“I’m still a great lover of crochet blankets but try to find unusual eye-catching stitch patterns and colour combinations to work with, making my work interesting and challenging. My intention when teaching crochet is to pass on a skill that can be utilised throughout life; it offers time to relax, entertain and even to help heal and comfort, as, in common with many handmade crafts, crocheting is a very good ‘mindful’ activity.”’ – Sally Richards
To ensure the quality of your personal experience, group size will be limited to 6.
