Bessie’s Workbasket

January 10 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

$10

The Mount Prospect Historical Society will be continuing monthly needlecraft nights under a new name — Bessie’s Workbasket.

Join us the second Wednesday of each month in Central School (103 S. Maple St., Mount Prospect) from 10:00 am-12:00 pm or 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

Bring your own knitting/crocheting/embroidery project or try our spotlight project each month. All experience levels are welcome. Advance registration is recommended and a $10 donation per class is suggested.

On January 10, we will make Granny Squares. Who was the grandmother who made the first granny square? We’ll look at several women from the late 19th century who are often credited with designing beautiful afghans made out of crocheted blocks. We’ll learn the basic stitches and how to read a pattern and chart. We’ll also share several modern patterns to extend our design and techniques.
