Crochet Cables
INSTRUCTOR: Jody Francis
SKILL LEVEL: Advanced
PREREQUISITE: Knowledge of front/back post tall stitches very helpful
MATERIALS: $5 (collected by instructor at class)
STUDENTS TO BRING: Worsted weight yarn, other supplies will be provided
DESCRIPTION: Have you ever admired the many knitted cables and wanted to use them in crochet? Cables are a beautiful way to add texture and spice up any crochet project. In this class we’ll learn to cable with a crochet hook, and create a 6 stitch cable. There are many ways to create a cable, but we’ll narrow it down to a couple so you can start adding them to your projects and wow your crowds! Moderate to advanced crochet skills and knowledge of front and back posts very helpful.
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.
