March Chicks With Sticks--a note from Kat

I will be giving lessons on how to change colors in Tunisian Crochet at the next meeting on Wednesday, March 9th and Thursday, March 10th.
For learning basic color changes, you will need one skein of a light color and one skein of a nice contrasting color.

List of supplies needed for the class:
1 skein Worsted Weight light colored yarn - NO VARIEGATED
1 skein Worsted Weight dark colored yarn - NO VARIEGATED
1 Size J Afghan hook
1 small stitch holder (it will be holding ONE stitch at all times. You'll understand once you see why in class.)
You will need to know how to make butterfly "bobbins" or bring a few bobbins to class with you. Bobbins in reference to knitting are anything that can hold your yarn between color changes. Or, if you are old school, just leave your tails hanging and untangle them as they are needed.

After the class, I will be handing out LSU Tigers and NO Saints patterns for anyone who is interested in creating Tunisian lapghans for the nursing home residents. You don't have to use the patterns. It is easy to create your own.
