Coming down to a mere 9 weeks until 2015 means wonderful thrill and surprises from those of us who hand make our gifts. It also means... crunch time.
When Craftsy reached out to sponsor a class giveaway blog post, I suggested Crafty Crochet Embellishments with Linda Permann. Chosen for the reasons that can stretch and expand our skills as well as help produce quick application and results before the end of the year, and the fact that THIS class is brilliant!

No matter your experience level, there is something to gain from Linda's detailed online course. Linda's course is just right for the beginner and includes perfect patterns in written and chart format as well as tips and tricks to get you through it all.
For those who have been crocheting for a long time, the finer details in the Crafty Crochet Embellishments class may be less intimidating, e.g. sewing onto a cardigan, color pairing, stacking and layering embellishment pieces.
And as always, Craftsy classes offer you the opportunity to "Ask a Question?" to your instructor and fellow classmates as well as the ability to take personal notes, and click on a single button for 30second loops as well as video speed control while you hook and take in the instruction.
Aside from this one-on-one type of class setting, you will receive so much more in Materials section:
