Workshop 11: Shape Shifting Shawls

Put the geometry skills (that you thought you would never have to use) to work in this hands-on workshop. Remember terms like isosceles and equilateral triangles? Now those terms can finally be fun when you just add yarn.

Design your own shawl with Jenny King and investigate the shapes and forms in which they can be created.

Shawls can be circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, semicircles, crescents, rhombuses and more. In this class Jenny will demonstrate 15 methods of creating unique wraps and demonstrate how a simple change in direction can create a multitude of effects. Throw in some self-striping yarns or your favourite hand dyed sock yarn to make your design truly unique.

Oh, and did I mention that Jenny is a past President of Crochet Guild Australia, one of the four founders of the guild,  and our Director of Education. A qualified teacher, Jenny is one of Australia's most treasured crochet icons.

Please bring the following to workshop:

• 4 different 8 ply yarns, no dark colours please
• Lots of hooks - up to an 8mm
• Notebook, colouring pencils, lead pencil and eraser
• And if you need to begin a shawl, bring the yarn so Jenny can help you perfect your design.

Please note: This session will be delivered in-person only - no online offering will be made available.

Sessions run concurrently on each day, so please only choose one full-day session OR no more than one each morning or afternoon sessions per day!
