Crochet & Knit

Design and make your own fabric using crochet, knitting and motifs.  This is your opportunity to branch out to make a creation without following rules or reading a pattern.  You will make small motifs, arrange them on a template (for this class, a square – perfect for a pillow or wall-hanging), and sew them together.  Learn to design templates for scarves, shawls and garments.

Cost:  $35

Materials Fee:  $2.00

Materials you should bring:  small amounts of 10 or more yarns
(sport, DK and worsted weight); crochet hooks – F, G, H & I; knitting
needles – USA size 6, 7 & 8; scissors; tapestry needle

Number of Participants:   Minimum = 3; Maximum = 10

Instructor:  Leslie Nelle-Urinyi

Leslie Nelle-Urinyi learned the arts of crochet and knitting from her grandmothers at the age of 5.  For many years Leslie found herself creating hats without patterns using various yarns and hooks; she did not realize that there was a movement in the crochet world called FreeForm Crochet and that many other fiber artists were doing the same thing.  Leslie is active in the International FreeForm Fiber Arts Guild, the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA) and is presently working on the CGOA Master of Advance Crochet Course Stitches & Techniques program.
