Tunisian Crochet Entrelac

INSTRUCTOR:  Jody Francis
SKILL LEVEL:    Advanced
PREREQUISITE:  Advanced crochet skills helpful
MATERIALS:     $5 (collected by instructor at class)
STUDENTS TO BRING:  
Worsted weight yarn, other supplies will be provided

DESCRIPTION:  ​This class will teach you the art of tunisian crochet entrelac. Using the tunisian crochet method, you will learn how to interweave and form a patchwork of diamonds that are all connected together as you go. The best part is that you can use a regular crochet hook and there’s no need for a tunisian or afghan crochet hook. This stitch is useful in creating fabric for throw blankets, wash cloths, project or handbags, and is perfect for using up those bits of leftover yarn. Using a nice chunky fiber creates a lovely baby blanket or lap throw. It is an advanced technique, but a lot of fun.

​INSTRUCTOR BIO: Jody Francis has been a fiber artist for most of her life. Starting around five years of age, her mother taught her to knit. There were many square blankets for dolls to be sure and potholders a plenty for gifts. Around eight years of age, Jody's aunt taught her to crochet while camping in the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming. Not to be too cliche, but she was hooked. Jody completed Certified Instructor Courses, graduated to teaching classes, and began passing on her fiber knowledge to the next group of fiber artists in the making. Jody not only teaches in the classroom, but also one-on-one, informal gatherings in the park, coffee houses, local yarn stores, and demonstration/classes for fiber festivals. She thoroughly enjoys the fiber arts world with experience in crochet, knitting, sewing, weaving, felting, nålbinding, wire work including recycled guitar strings, jewelry making, beading, and woodwork. Jody is constantly seeking out new and fun ways to challenge and grow her own personal experience from international and local artisans alike. Teaching the skills that enable folks to enjoy the fiber arts as much as she does is a privilege and an honor.
