This is a flex class. There will be no live meetings. In this class beginners will learn Tunisian crochet and will make 3 washcloths. For each of the four weeks I will upload a video demonstrating the stitches and methods needed to make the washcloths. Students will watch the videos, learn, and practice the stitches. They will then be able to post their questions and pictures/videos of their progress. I will provide each student with feedback about their work.  Students will give feedback on each others color choices and techniques. All posts will be done in our Outschool classroom.  Students do not need to have any knowledge of crochet. At the end of this class students will have learned a new skill and will have 3 new washcloths.
