POSTPONED PROGRAMS
TATTING Program Postponed Until a later time: Nancy will teach us
how crochet can be made to look like tatting. (THIS IS
NOT Cro-tatting
but Nancy's own invention).
Materials: Bring smooth thread/yarn and appropriate sized hook.
It's traditionally done in Thread but Yarn will work.
Program: Cynthia's Flowers - Cynthia will bring some patterns and
talk about the anatomy of a flower .30-45 min program
Materials: Bring small amounts of Flower and Leaf colors in any
texture weight yarn or thread
(the
lighter the yarn/thread, the smaller the flower. The more texture, the harder
to see your stitches).
If
you're new to making flowers, a light color and smooth worsted or sports
weight would be the easiest.
Bring a range of hooks (example E thru G would work well with Sports/
Sock weight,
G thru
I would work well with worsted)
