Join us for the MARCH SEATTLE BLOGGER MEETUP! This event has two parts, so read carefully:

>> CRAFT @ 5 p.m. -- Come socialize AND learn a fun new skill as Andie & Emily from Assemble Shop teach us how to crochet! They'll demonstrate their famous Crocheted Granny Square kits and teach you how to do it too. All attendees will receive a crochet kit, personalized instruction, treats and a fun new skill -- plus stay for the meetup afterward! (Ticket price: $30.) **Please note: You do NOT have to buy two tickets if you want to crochet and stay for the meetup -- your crafting ticket covers both events.

>> CHAT @ 7 p.m. -- Just want to come for the meetup (and some delicious Trophy Cupcakes)? That's fine too. At 7 p.m., Andie & Emily will put their crochet hooks down to discuss the ins and outs of "Selling your Self and your Stuff, Online and In Person" with a brief presentation and Q&A -- all about how to best present your online persona and / or business on the world wide web AND face to face. (Ticket price: $5.)

ABOUT ASSEMBLE:

Andie Powers and Emily Grosse teamed up in 2009 to create Assemble Gallery & Studio. Located in the Phinney Ridge area of Seattle, the Assemble physical space integrated a gallery, a workshop studio, and a retail shop to host creativity of all kinds. In January of 2013, they made the decision to transfer the business to a completely online entity. For more about Andie & Emily, click here.

ABOUT THE CROCHET KITS:

Learn to crochet while creating traditional granny squares, but with a modern color twist! Make doilies or an afghan! This kit includes a sturdy kraft box to store your project, 5 colors of worsted weight yarn in red, dark blue, aqua, mustard and cream wrapped around our signature plywood spools (reusable!), a 5mm crochet hook, a yarn needle, and a full-color, photographed instruction booklet. Kits typically cost $35 and workshops are $50, so you're getting a smoking deal by coming to this meetup!
