crochet party

[i'mhooked]

I am planning a crochet party for some friends who already know how to crochet and some that want to learn . I am hoping that all of you creative minds can help me come up with some ideas for wording on the invitation (something fun, clever, witty, punny-- you get the idea) or any ideas you may have that would add a creative touch to the party itself... Your help is incredibly appreciated!

Oh, sounds fun! Wish I had friends that lived close that crocheted. Let's see - Maybe have some different types of yarn that everyone could try out. For the ones learning how to crochet, how about a kit for the party - skein of yarn, easy instructions for maybe a discloth (after receiving permission to distribute pattern), hook, scissors, etc. If you are having food, how about pretzel rods in a container - like crochet hooks. Maybe spaghetti (although mess) - would look like yarn on a plate. Make up a punch and give it a "crochet" type name. Oh, I want to come - sounds fun.

One thing to watch about food: limit the oily and sticky stuff that doesn't use any utensils. Fingers sticking to hooks, yarn, people eating fibers from the yarn, lol

What fun! Hmm, what for little favors? A second hook for everyone, perhaps larger sizes with a skein of bulky yarn? Or a small hook and thread for the adventurous? Do you have a second hand bookstore near you? Maybe you could find some cheap pattern books and have those as prizes for crochet-themed questions (you could put these in a bowl, and randomly pull a question out, or have a raffle so everyone gets a prize; I'm sure you'd make sure everyone goes home with something fun).

 

I like the dishcloth idea. How about holiday celebrations? Maybe a follow-up ornament making party?

Sounds like fun.......you could get a few copies of the patterns that are available for free in stores and give them as prizes with the recommended hook and some yarn. Be sure to give everyone the Crochetville forum address!

[contrary.crocheter]

for favors you could make these cute hook keychains

Not to mention the bus to haul people, and rent for the local high school gym lol.

omg - that keychain hook is an awesome idea! I want one!

[Titus2woman]

WAH! I wanna come too! (((((HUGS))))) sandi

[Craw]

I want to come!!!!

[i'mhooked]

Thanks for the great ideas so far-- please keep them coming-- also help with invitation wording would be greatly appreciated!

[HomekeepingGran]

How about a Skein Swap with it? Everyone brings unwanted or orphaned skeins to be adopted by a new mommy.

 

I'm sorry but I am drawing a blank on the invitation.

This might be a good time of year to find a shepherd's crook. This looks like a crochet hook and could be placed like a welcoming beacon near the front door.

Let's get hooked together in a yarn of fun!

 

That's all I can think of..maybe someone else can add to it or take away!

[_Stacy_]

How about "Let's join together and get hooked on crochet?" Or

"Join me and get hooked on crochet."

Or...if you want to be extra-sassy, you could always put on the front: "Ever want to become a hooker?" Then on the inside put, "Then join me and get hooked on crochet!" Of course, i don't know how old you are so that may not be very appropriate.

 

This really is such a neat idea!! I wish I had friends to do this with. LoL

That hook key chain is the best thing I have seen! I always remember to stuff a skein into my purse for doctor's appts and such but I forget the hook every single time.

[sOCKsgirl]

That sounds like fun! What a great way to spread the love of crochet!

[craziebunny]

Chain yourself on over

bring your hook and yarn

Fun with friends who sure to fit in a slip stitch of fun!

Half or double will we have some drinks and yummy little

single treats for a round of one or more!

[Katie G]

This sounds like so much fun. Wish I had some crochet buddies.

I hope you post after the party and let us know how it went and how much fun you had.

[CLLinda]

What about a stash exchange? Tell those who already crochet to bring some yarn they don't want any more and it can be exchanged for some others.

 

I think it's a wonderful idea to have a crochet party. It may even turn into a monthly group. How lucky you are!

 

[Cliffnote]

Hmmmmm... Invitation wording.....

 

Front- Need a little more fiber in your diet?

Inside- Come get your fill and join me for a crochet party!

 

Maybe have a small pic of someone crocheting on the inside and on the front maybe a skein of yarn.

 

hmmm kinda corny.. I will have to think more.

[HappyOldCro]

"Let me Hook you up!!"

 

"Let's get tangled together"

 

Maybe a pattern exchange?

 

Every one brings something to the party, assign points for items brought, ie: 5 points for a large skein, 3 for a small one, 10 for a hook, and so on for patterns, booklets, other accessories. Use play money for the points and Hold an auction using that as payment.

 

Blind fold person, lay an assortment of yarns on table and the one who can guess (what kind of yarn it is) the most correct gets to pick one (or more) of them to keep.

 

I envy you I would love to do something like that.

Oh! I like that! Sounds like fun! The "Name that Yarn" game.

You could use those Twizzler pull and Peel licorice things and crochet up some edible thongs. <<don't blame me! I saw it on Ravelry!>>
