Knitters Night Out West (KNOW)
2024-08-26 18:30 - 20:30 | Spring Creek Barbeque, 21000 Katy Fwy, Katy, TX, 77449, United States
Join us for a program on the Basics of Tunisian Crochet. Tracy Reid will be showing us how to do this fun craft.
No homework is necessary, but those who would like to try making a small swatch can bring some light-colored worsted or DK weight yarn and a straight, non-ergonomic crochet hook that is 2 to 3 sizes larger than what is recommended for the yarn.
A Tunisian crochet hook is not necessary for a small sample, but if you already have one feel free to bring it. An instructional handout will be provided for those who want to try practicing on their own. Tracy will bring finished projects, swatches, tools and a couple books to share as well.
She will be using this free pattern for the demo and swatch.
Many members often come early to have dinner and show support for the restaurant and their generosity in letting us meet there. Guild members and visitors are welcome to join us!
