In this technique class, instructor
Zelda K (Workman)
shows how to crochet a sampler of stitches into a wall-hanging with lots of texture.
Making this stand-alone fiber art project will teach you several stitches with which
you can also make fantastic afghans and great sweaters.
To take this class you need to know ch, sl st, sc, dc, tr, hdc, inc, dec,
and how to turn rows and join rnds.
The textures in this sampler are derived from a variety of stitches.
Included are bobble, cluster, puff st, popcorn st, post sts, and
two examples of texture from the use of differing height sts next to each other.
The class has two lessons.
In the first lesson we will work the first thirty-one rows of the pattern.
In the second lesson we will complete the wall-hanging by crocheting the remaining rows,
and adding a simple edge all around. When finished, hanging tabs are made and sewn on.
You can use any smooth un-textured yarn, your choice of weight and color.
The finer the yarn, the smaller the finished project.
The model in the photograph which is made with Tencel Wool® (Sport weight)
and a size F (4 mm) crochet hook, measures 8 ¾" (22 cm) wide by 12 ¼" (31 cm) long.
This is a wonderful technique class to improve your knowledge and know how of
several interesting stitches.

round necklines. How do you do that?
Beading and working with beads is very popular these days. You can find beads on almost everything;

Have you ever wondered what to do with the many plastic bags you get when shopping?
Isn't it annoying to just recycle them or even worse, toss them in the garbage?
Crochet as an art form has the reputation that it is perfect for household items such as
Afghans, doilies and dishcloths and not garments.
Many do not make a crocheted garment, saying that either they do not like the produced fabric
or they do not like its appearance.
Usually the major problem is that they do not know how to make changes to the pattern
to make the garment fit, or they use the wrong material, e.g. wrong yarn, wrong hook for the yarn, etc.
Crochet is the most popular form of Needlecraft to make items such as lace doilies and
tablecloths, and that is what we are going to do in this class.
This doily has the traditional form mixed with more modern elements.
The outcome is a piece that is very eye pleasing and will become a cherished heirloom
for future generations.
