Tatting is a very interesting lace-making technique using a simple shuttle and crochet thread. In this workshop, I'll teach you the basics and then guide you through making your own pair of delicate lace, tatted earrings!

You'll learn the basic tatting stitch, how to create picots, join rings, and tips on loading, holding, and using the shuttle. Then, you'll make a pair of earrings, choosing from a few simple designs that will allow you to practice your newly learned skills!

I'll have lots of examples of tatting - some old and some modern - that will inspire you and show you the possibilities with tatting. There's a whole world of lace making that you can discover by starting with this class.

No previous experience needed. Tatting is truly a hands-on craft, with one hand continuously holding and adjusting the tension for each ring, while the other hand is guiding the shuttle and thread. It does take some finger dexterity and coordination (a bit like knitting), but once you get the hang of it, it’s seriously addictive!

In this Intermediate class, hookers will finish a granny square which is, indeed one of the building blocks of fashion! We will be working on a granny square mug cozy so you will also learn 2 methods to join granny squares together

Whether it’s Jason Momoa and Jack Black in their fab macro granny square sweaters, to Dolce & Gabbana and Miu Miu sending granny squares down the runway, this modular tile with a thousand different patterns has been iconic for more than 100 years.

Faye has taught granny squares in Los Angeles for more than 2 decades to a wide swath of makers. Come join her for a class and a slide show featuring the hundreds of options available once you master this skill!

This is an intermediate class. You must know how to chain, single and double crochet for this class, but you don't need to know how to granny square!
