Some of you may know that I was away at a Crochet Instructors Program a couple of weeks ago. The course was designed to ‘teach the crochet teacher’ how to deliver more effective and enjoyable crochet classes to students. The course was held at Surfair Marcoola Beach, on the lovely Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

I thought I’d share with you some pics of the event and the Surfair hotel itself.

I’m so excited!  My book “Encyclopedia of Tunisian Crochet” by Angela Grabowski arrived today:

“Arnie” Grabowski is a genius!  After struggling for so long to find a good book on this wonderfully versatile crochet method, I was thrilled to have found this one.  It covers EVERYTHING you need to know about Tunisian crochet and Arnie’s writing style means the instructions are clear and easy-to-follow.  The only comment I would make about this book (currently in its second printing) is that the next edition would be better in colour.  If you love Tunisian Crochet and would love to expand your skills and knowledge in this area, then this book is the perfect place to start!
