Community Crochet-in With Cookie Washington
Community Crochet-in at the Charleston Museum with Master Quilter and Artist Cookie Washington
In honor of National Crochet Month, join the Charleston Museum for a special ‘crochet-in’ led by master quilter and artist Cookie Washington. Join fellow crochet enthusiasts for a day of mindful and environmentally friendly creativity on March 8, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Washington will demonstrate rag crochet and regular yarn crochet. Rag crochet is a sustainable craft that transforms discarded textiles like old clothing, sheets, and fabric scraps into beautiful, functional items such as rugs, baskets, and blankets. By cutting fabric into strips and crocheting them together, crafters create durable, textured pieces with unique character and charm. This eco-friendly technique breathes new life into materials that might otherwise be wasted, blending creativity with sustainability.
