It's Hip to be Square:
Learn how to knit or crochet a basic square, and then be inspired by how to use the square in various projects. Participants will receive a skein of TLC Essentials yarn, a learn-how book, a crochet hook or pair of knitting needles, a yarn needle, instructions for the basic square and inspiration for projects to create from squares. Also discussed in depth: how to read instructions. Session time: 1.5 hours. While we do have set session times, feel free to drop in at the Activities Area of the show floor anytime to join in the discussions or just sit and stitch a while. Sponsored by Coats & Clark. |
