From Simple Stitches to Standout Texture: A Hands‑On Crochet Workshop in Salina.
Hosted at the Salina Selfie Station and led by local maker Hippo Hearts and Crafts, Beyond the Basics: Crochet Texture Workshop is a two‑hour, small‑group class that takes experienced beginners beyond chains and single crochet to textured stitches — front post and back post — so participants can create a textured washcloth and learn how to scale those skills to larger projects.
