Classes will be held in the Reference Room on the second floor. Students are asked to bring a little yarn and a size I or J crochet hook. Instructor Jessica Gonzales will teach the basic single crochet stitch and help students create a useful article, such as a cover for a cell phone or a scarf.
Jessica began crocheting ten years ago when she and husband Justin began their family. She says her sister got her started making baby blankets and hats. It was a great creative outlet for a stay-at-home Mom that eventually led to a business. Today Jessica and her sister Tamera McNulty own “Beanies & Booshkas – A Boutique for Little Ones.”
The sisters first got the idea for a business when they displayed and sold their goods at the EUM Bazaar last November. Jessica produces the crocheted items – all kinds of hats and ipad, Nook, Kindle & cell phone covers – and Tamera sews the “booshkas” or headscarves. Now everything is available at the 3rd Street Market as well as through Facebook.
Customers can browse on www.facebook.com/beaniesbooshkas or place special orders by contacting the sisters. Each item is very original, reasonably priced, and makes a great gift!
For the month of April Beanies & Booshkas also has a small display at the Library. Jessica is seen with daughter Eva wearing one of her hats!
