I'm in MD, USA, and I'm finally able to get crochet classes. One problem is that I need to find a place that provides classes that is less than 100 $. Any hints???

WoW!  $100??? Do you have a Michael's or a JoAnne's near you? They offer classes for little to no money. |

Actually, my prsice turned to 50 or less. This might've been a tougher subject, so I'm sorry.

Check with your community education dept. and see if they offer classes. They are typically affordable.

...I tried Youtube, but other results came. Yes, I will look again, but I have a tendency to stay on longer, and my computer time is cut short by other things. And I'm sorry, this was tougher.  Thanks to those who helped. I'll take your advice and see waht to do.  Thanks again! |

Check you local craft stores, they can be very reasonable. Joann in particular, look at the whole class schedule, they usually have something called open house days (at the very bottom), if you sign-up that day, you can get 50% off.
If there is a community or junior college in your area, they often have non-credit courses, sometimes called continuing education or adult-ed (you don't have to be an adult I took them locally in middle & high school). Also community centers or boys & girs clubs are a good resource, they may not offer a class, but can sometimes get you hooked up with someone, lots of times they have people willing to give time & teach, but not enough interest for a full class, so they can hook you up one on one.
Good luck.

If you were in PA near Montgomery County, I would say go to the Lamb's Wool, Lansdale, PA. That's where I'm learning to knit. They offer crochet classes for under $50.00. I just signed up for a years worth of knitting lessons for $225.00 (and you don't have to pay it all at one time, how wonderful is that). I paide for 6 months at $150.00 and I'll pay the balance in another month or so. The years worth of knitting lessons means I can go every day and ask as many questions that I want for an entire year. I didn't think that was too bad.
Check to see if there are any small mom and pop yarn shops in your area. They most likely will offer something or can point in the right direction too. The local schools was another great suggestion by LaraKN or check your Borough/Township Building for some summer craft events. It might be one of them. Check your local churches too. They always have some kind of Guild that might be able to help you out or you might be able to post a flier in their entrance ways.
I wish I was closer, I would love to help you out. Let us know how you make out and keep asking questions online with CHF. Someone here should be able to walk you through it. Don't be afraid to telephone, I'd be more than happy to try to walk you through something over the phone if I can.

Church is another great idea, if you belong to a church, ask at the office if they have an annual craft fair & if so, who organizes it. The people who organize it usually know who does what type of crafts and could give you some suggestions for people who could help you.
If they don't have a craft fair ask if there is a womens group or Ladies Auxillary, and ask them, I am sure they would put it out to their members to look for someone who would be willing to teach you.

My churches don't have groups like that that I know of. I'll look again. To be true, I'd like to have one be there.

Some libraries and adult education programs in your school district have crochet and knitting workshops. Sometimes they teach you how to crochet starting with a simple scarf,. Sometimes they just have a group where knitters and crocheters just meet and do their own thing and if so, they might assist you. You might also check out your local senior center (even if you aren't one) and ask if anyone could help you there.

Funny thing is, now they're opening a Rec center near my house. I hope to investigate it soon.

If they don't have any sort of craft group when the rec center opens, you can ask them if they can get one going.
