Do you hate throwing away the beautiful bits of yarn that are left over when you finish a project? Do you have a collection of pretty scraps of yarn, fabric, and ribbon that you just couldn’t bear to throw away but have no idea what to do with? If so, this project is perfect for you! We will be taking all those beautiful bits and bobs and creating a truly unique, one-of-a-kind bag that will make all your friends jealous! We will also be learning the “magic knot” technique, will learn how to make magic yarn out of yarn remnants, and explore other uses for magic yarn!

You must be able to perform a single crochet. There is no homework.

Please bring your personal stash of scraps or fiber to use for this project or share with other students.

Class duration: 4 hours

Instructor: ILSE WATKINS has worked with yarn in one form or another as far back as she can remember. To amuse her young children, her mother gave her and her brother crochet hooks and yarn, and they proceeded to make crochet chains going through the whole house.  Ilse picked up knitting in 2nd grade in school in Germany.  She made her first poncho at age nine and then never stopped crocheting and knitting. In high school she and her friends had knitting projects going under their desks in class.  She discovered Tunisian Crochet in 2020 and was fascinated. It looked like she had found the bridge between knitting and crochet.  All knit stitches, all crochet stitches can be done in Tunisian crochet, even fair isle, cables and so much more.
