Thoughts after the first Craft n' Coffee

So the first Craft n' Coffee event was a success.


In the days leading up to the event I suddenly felt nervous of whether anybody would come, whether this was a good idea after all, and why I had been so stupid to publically announce 'my certain route to failure'.

Of course I had no reason to worry. 3 lovely ladies, a collegue, a fellow Dane and a local Mum, joined me in the crafty spirit. A first time knitter, who had taught herself the art of knitting by watching YouTube videos, and a couple of experienced knitters who could help her with advice, tips and tricks.


We had such a great evening with lots of chatter and laughs - buckets of tea - and no coffee - despite the evening title. All appreciated the initiative and definitely wanted to meet again. For sure I said.


So the next Craft n’ Coffee will be Thursday 9 June 7:30pm AEST.





This is one of my (many) ideas and dreams: to promote hand crafting, gather beautiful crafters to share inspiration and passion. Maybe the Craft n' Coffee events could be the pre-cursor for 'learn to knit' workshops. That would be a dream comes true!!!


My obstacle though is to learn all the knitting specific vocabulary in English.
Do you have any good recommendations for the best way to acquire that expertise?


I wish you a lovely night - or day - wherever you are. Cheers, Jane

Craft n Coffee - an invitation to a crafty get together

This has been brewing in my mind for while and now it is about to become a reality.


As you will know I enjoy everything crafty as long as it involves yarn or fabric, and I've been looking for likeminded crafters to share the passion with. There are several opportunities out there, and I have attended a few. Really great events indeed, but why not organize one myself - here in my craft room at home!!


So here it is - an invitation to Craft n' Coffee!





Bring your knitting or crochet project and I'll put on the kettle for a cuppa and we can spend a few hours together crafting, chatting and inspiring each other.


Send me an email jane@ballenet.dk if you are interested and I'll send you the details. Can't wait to meet you.


Please feel free to share the invitation.


Jane
