Crochet Crystal Holder
January brings in the cold, restful time of the year. Carrying around stones to remind you of the safety of the warm earth (grounding stones such as jasper, argonite, and onyx), the bright skies of spring (Air associated crystals such as quartz, lapis lazuli, or blue kyanite), or the bright warmth of a cheerful fire (Fire associated stones such as carnelian, pyrite or sunstone) can help with the winter blues. Come and turn any tumbled ½ – 1 inch stone into a charming necklace. This is a quick and easy crochet project, with just a couple basic crochet stitches you will create a net to hold a small tumbled stone attached to a cord for around your neck. The net will fit different shaped stones easily, allowing you to switch out stones to match outfits or suit your mood.
Join us bi-monthly for a crafting circle inspired by the eight sabbats of the Wheel of the Year. In each session, we’ll create a seasonal craft rooted in the traditions, symbols, and energy of the coming holiday, drawing inspiration from books like Crafting the Wheel of the Year, The Wheel of the Year: An Illustrated Guide to Nature’s Rhythms, and The Natural Home Wheel of the Year.
Expect an easy hands-on project each session, ready to take home or finish up later with confidence. Projects shift with the season: seasonal wreath making, witches’ bells, blooming floral charms, garden-harvested potions, crocheted pieces, pocket altars, beadwork, and other crafted adornments. No experience necessary. All materials and skill levels welcome.
