This is a relaxed class to extend on beginner Tunisian crochet skills. Refresh yourself with the anatomy of Tunisian crochet stitches and gain an understanding of how different hook insertion points change the look and drape of Tunisian crochet fabric. Learn the most used Tunisian stitches and learn how to combine them in different ways to make different textures of Tunisian crochet. Any students wishing to learn specific stitches are welcome to request them during the class.
Tunisian Crochet was the first yarn craft that Abbey learned. Starting in 2012 and learning exclusively from library books, she absorbed everything she could find about the craft. It didn't take her long to feel that the emphasis on blankets and washcloths was unwarranted, and there's only so many shawls a girl could wear. Where were the nicely draping wearables and properly fitting garments?
She's been experimenting and pushing the boundaries of Tunisian Crochet ever since. In such a short space of time, she can see how much has changed. There is a huge emphasis on size inclusivity, yarn inclusivity and a demand that designers provide proper instructions rather than simple "recipes". She loves that she is part of the growing trend to "do better" and not simply pumping design after design out for the sake of a few more instagram followers.
