Learn to Crochet with Gandalf the Grey is a free, beginner-level crafting workshop at the South Regional Library in Durham where participants learn basic stitches using a specialized starter kit. Attendees receive a complete Woobles kit containing yarn, a hook, and step-by-step video instructions for both left- and right-handed crafters. This program is designed specifically for true beginners, so experienced crafters should sit this one out. Registration is required to secure your spot and your kit, and you must attend this first session to receive the materials. The library offers free parking in its main lot, and all physical supplies are provided through the support of the Friends of the Durham Library. It is a productive way to carve out some quiet creative time mid-week. You will leave with a new skill, a tangible project to work on at home, and access to an optional follow-up help session in October if you run into any tricky stitches.
