FREEFORM CROCHET CLASS

On April 13, 2008 I had the unique experience of teaching a beginning freeform crochet class. What a blast....I had so much fun teaching this class....because I had four terrific students that made it easy and a great shop and shop owner (Sheila of Stix-n-Stitches in Montclair, NJ), thanks again Sheila for this terrific opportunity!) who made it all happen.

I had brought some of my freeform crochet lace wrist cuffs as an example (picture below).


We went over basic freeform shapes and then I let them "go" as I gave them suggestions and they each made some reallly terrific first time pieces.

Here is picture of my terrific students:

Starting at the left: Deborah, Sheri, Carla and Mary



Here is Deborah's freeform wrist cuff.


Sheri wanted to make her first freeform piece into a handbag, after having seen one of Margaret Hubert's freeform handbags and here is Sheri's freeform piece, below, working towards the freeform handbag.

Here is Carla's freeform wrist cuff,


And here is Mary's freeform wrist cuff.


I think they did such a great job and I hope I got them started on the road to Freeform Crochet.

Great Job Ladies, and thank you for being such talented students.
