It was about thirty years ago that my granny introduced me to crochet and I fell completely in love. Apart from a few years where I discovered boys and booze (long behind me now!) I have been crocheting ever since... Vanessa and I would love to have the opportunity to pass on our knowledge of this amazing craft which sadly is often seen as the poor cousin of knitting.

This month, we will be welcoming our fabulous speaker, Jack Izzard. As usual, we're gathering on the second Tuesday of the month - 13 March at 7.30pm, Alter Ego bar, downstairs at Harrisons, Bedford Hill, Balham.
Jack is a former BBC foreign correspondent, who will be speaking about his career on the frontline of news. At a time when our fearless foreign correspondents are very much in the news themselves, and when esteemed names have even lost their lives to their craft, it will be fascinating to gain a real insight into this world.
