Bzz Garage Banner – The Bee’ginning

(sorry)

Today’s meet up was about planning the Bzz Garage Banner and teaching newbies how to crochet flowers – some of us had to relearn as it had been awhile!

We were using instructions from Attic24 – Lucy writes really clear tutorials. Everyone also enjoyed this book of projects from beginner to advanced, featuring flowers of different kinds.

we made flowers and a little wingless bee – he’s quite happy despite the wing issue!

We discussed the banner afterwards and future Stitch sessions too 🙂
