Tapestry Crochet, Saturday, May 1, 2010

April 29, 2010

This color work crochet technique is very popular in South America.  It is most often used to create firm fabrics for hats and bags.  BJ, our expert crochet resource person, has another take on tapestry crochet.  Her two scarf designs are fluid and drapey for beauty as well as comfort
Drop in anytime between 10 am and 2 pm and practice this technique with BJ.  We’ll provide your practice yarn.
