Knitting and crocheting create very different fabrics. People often keep them separate, but wonderful and unique pieces can be created if you break down the barriers and mix up these two wonderful techniques. Let’s see how great new looks can be made by thinking beyond books and patterns. From simple edgings to projects that incorporate both techniques in the body of the piece. Try out some combinations of the instructor’s and try out some combinations of your own. The results can be to take your work into new and exciting directions. The class will cover different ways to mix these techniques. Students will be given a pattern for a scarf which they will begin in class.
