• Two lesson sessions: Stringing/Starting and Finishing/Joining
• instructions and patterns
You'll need to buy or bring a 1mm or smaller (U.S. size 10 or 12; size numbers are not standard) steel crochet hook. Prior experience in crochet is strongly recommended. You'll work on your bracelet on your own between lessons -- depending on your crochet speed, it should take you about 4 hours total. This is small work; if you use reading glasses, you'll need them!

Although you won't find actual plums, this steamed dessert (also known as Figgy Pudding, but no figs either) is loaded with fruit, secret spices, ginger snaps and brandy. The Cratchet family from Dicken's Christmas Carol classic enjoyed it set ablaze, and so can you! We include a little booklet with history and instructions for making "Hard Sauce" and how to serve it.
