Bigtime thanks to everyone who came out last night and made our spring craft workshop a success!

A special THANK YOU goes out to our excellent instructors, Tasha, Sloane and Mary for sharing their skills and taking the time to run the workshop.

Everyone got a little bit creative and jumped right in learning new skills.

Embroidery, crazy creatures and knitting all around!

Got an idea for our next workshop? Have a skill you’re willing to share with the rest of the mafia? Leave us a comment or go post in the forums!

Sunday, October 21 we had another one of our skill-sharing workshops and lots of mafiosas left with a new skill - Knitting! A big thanks goes out to Deva, Vero and Tasha for being willing to share their knowledge and love of knitting with the rest of the group. We had a great turnout - about 15 people - and ate some yummy snacks, hung out and knitted!

Thanks also to Amanda for the generous use of her home to host the workshop. It was perfect!

All the ladies who attended learned to cast on, knit knit knit and bind off. I heard some are making scarves now, who knows, this could be the start of some great holiday gifts!

Be sure to keep checking our events page for our next upcoming workshop. We’re planning a Colonial Christmas-themed craft extravaganza for December so you won’t wanna miss it!

Thanks to everyone that came out to the first Norfolk Craft Mafia skill sharing workshop! We learned a ton about Etsy, Flickr, blogs and getting your craft seen online. Thanks to Amanda, Cassie, Tasha and Ali for attending and everyone for their insight and help!
