This course is designed for students who knit or crochet, although we use a lot of crochet techniques.

In this course we learn several options of Edges and Borders for afghans and wearables; such as shells, picots, crab stitch variations and a fancy Broomstick lace border as well as how to stabilize knitted edges. We learn interesting and Fun Endings for scarves; both Broomstick lace and Tunisian lace scarf endings, different kinds of Fringes and Pom-poms, Roman circles, giant clam shells, tassels and corkscrews as well as a beaded loops option. We learn how to make I cords and practical uses for different kinds of cords, frogs and toggles for interesting closures. There are projects for gift giving and beading. Then we learn how to create Crochet Flowers: pansies, four leaf clover and roses, a large three-dimensional flower, as well as the matching leaves in various sizes, made with materials of your choice. We learn how to fashion Buttons to match your wearables and how to create a professional look for handmade fiber pieces by proper Blocking and Labeling of your work.

Students will be able to immerse themselves into lots of options to give their knitted or crochet projects that one of a kind custom look.
