Makers Palooza Day 3: Craft Ideas to Try
I saw how to get to the beginning of each day, but I couldn’t find out how to get to just the classes I wanted to watch. How do I do that?
Hi Karen,
For the segments that have already broadcasted live (day 1 and 2), we have included timestamps for each session within the description section of the page. Additionally, we have implemented video chapters, which divide the video into distinct sections, each accompanied by a unique preview. To access these chapters, simply hover your cursor over the timeline bar located at the bottom of the video player.
Thank you so much.
Where would I find this “pattern pack” I heard about during the Advanced Crochet Techniques lecture this morning?
Hi Dixie,
Brenda K.B. Anderson referred to the conference workbook during her session. The workbook is filled with patterns and guides. Download the workbook here: https://tnmarketing.s3.amazonaws.com/content/craftsy/Conference-Workboook.pdf
Wow, learned a lot!
Looking forward to session.
I’d like to see crochet or knitting techniques or patterns
Hi Renate,
Our Craftsy instructors covered advanced crochet techniques during the first 2+ hours of the conference on day 2. If you missed the session, it will be available to watch on demand after the live stream is complete.
Yesterday, there was a session on 3 Simple Crochet Edgings and 3 Easy Dishcloth Stitches. Those sessions are available to watch right now. Make sure to check out the video description for the timestamps.
Tomorrow, tune in at 10:00 a.m. CT for for the first 2 hours or so because the conference will cover both crochet and knit project ideas and patterns.

Thank you so much for the estimated schedule- such a big help!
You’re very welcome! In response to yesterday’s feedback, we incorporated estimated session start times. I’m delighted to hear that the schedule was helpful to you.
Thank you for the estimated start times by section. Very helpful in planning.
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for your comment! In response to yesterday’s feedback, we incorporated estimated session start times. I’m glad to know that its been beneficial for your planning.
pg 30 to 38 on the workbooks has the pattern for wheel of mystery quilt and drawings. i have downloaded the workbook 4 times and they all are incorrect. There is no pattern for the advanced techniques and everything is off. How do I get a current up to date workbook?
Hi Carole,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with the workbook! We originally published the workbook without the Lace, Colorwork, and Cables guide and it was added later (about a week ago). I am wondering if your page has cached and is giving you old data. Can you please try refreshing the page where you are clicking the link for the workbook? The newest version of the workbook should have the table of contents on page 1 instead of the cover page like before. Download the workbook here: https://tnmarketing.s3.amazonaws.com/content/craftsy/Conference-Workboook.pdf
Thanks, crafty for this special day.
Hi Barbara,
You’re very welcome! Crafting can indeed make any day special and filled with creativity. Whether you’re working on a new project, exploring new techniques, or simply enjoying the process of making something beautiful, crafty endeavors have a way of adding a touch of joy to our lives. I hope you have a fantastic crafting day and create something wonderful!
Looking forward to the session.
Hi Susan,
Happy to hear it! What sessions are you most interested in?
Hi, I am watching from Prescott Valley AZ
Hi there,
Thank you for joining us! We are happy to have you here.
How do you get the pattern packet? I love the patterns that you are working on.
Hi Catharine,
Thank you so much for your kind words! Download the workbook here: https://tnmarketing.s3.amazonaws.com/content/craftsy/Conference-Workboook.pdf
The Lace, Colorwork and Cables guide can be found on pages 19-29.
Happy crafting!
How do you block a large object?
Hi Melinda,
Blocking a large crochet object, such as a blanket or a shawl, can be a bit more challenging due to their size. Find a flat, clean, and spacious area where you can lay out your crochet object. Ideally, this area should be large enough to accommodate the full dimensions of your project such as a bed or a table. Place blocking mats or several clean towels on your chosen surface to protect your crochet object and the underlying surface from any moisture.
Good morning from Lakewood, CO.
