Crochet + Weaving Classes Scheduled!

Christa Wissler
Intro to Freeform Crochet

Level: Advanced Beginner

Supplies: Leftover yarn from your stash of various colors and textures, and crochet hooks of various gauges. (If you don't have these on hand the instructor will have hooks that you may use). Additionally, yarns & tools are available for purchase at LYS.

The only requirement for this class is basic crochet skills. You must know how to chain and single crochet. In this class you will learn the fundamentals you need to begin free form crochet. We will learn double crochet, how to increase, and how to change colors/yarns. These simple techniques will open you up to a world of possibilities. This is very abstract, artistic crochet that does not use patterns. Be creative and experiment using the yarn as your canvas and the hook as your paint brush. There are no mistakes, so just have fun and see where your imagination takes you. We will attempt to complete a sample swatch and perhaps more by the end of class.

Session 1: Wednesday, May 20
Session 2: Saturday, May 30
