Yesterday's Workshop at Consignment Corner

Yesterday's workshop took place at Consignment Corner on Broadway and Coronado in Belmont Heights....we sat comfortably outside in the shade and finger crocheted a pair of hand warmers while we watched the people go by. The owner of the store is very friendly so he knows everyone around...we enjoyed many conversations with neighbors walking by....including the ice cream man....even the dogs being walked wanted to stop at the shop to get some treats (they are so smart!!) Below are a couple of pics we took....this student was a fast learner!

Yesterday's Workshop at Iguana Imports

Yesterday's class was a success! Check out what was made below...the student was a fast learner...she made a bottle and started a beanie, which she then later finished at home. I am so happy with how it all went!

Wine Bottle will later be used as a vase

Hanging Bottle Plants...and Avocado Tree!

This is one of the several projects you can choose from at the workshop...I will provide bottles and yarn but you are also welcome to bring your own....

These bottles are filled with water which lasts for a long time so it's great for people that forget to water the plants....like myself sometimes....

Any bottles are good, even plastic ones...although glass are the best.....this one above is a wine bottle....the one below is an apple juice bottle....

Beer bottles are also great because they come in nice brown and green colors....

This particular one is 1/2 of a water bottle...you can see the cap on the bottom....I sprouted one of our first avocado seedlings in it!!

Part of the process is learning how to finger crochet...with a little practice....and once you got that down, the rest comes easily!

These 2 pictures below show a small water bottle I cut in half and made two plant holders....
