I'm teaching at the SWI summer school in August!
3-day workshop | Tutor: Fiona Meade | 15-19 August 2024 | Crochet
Email hello@theswi.org.uk to book.
More info: www.theswi.org.uk/events-info/
Member rates: Residential course £500 | Non-residential course £400
Non-member rates: Residential course £600 | Non-residential course £500
After learning the basics of the craft as a child, SWI member Fiona taught herself to read patterns and now designs her own makes for her Ravelry, Etsy and LoveCrafts stores. She now teaches courses locally in Aberdeenshire and globally on her TH-cam channel.
This course is for participants who already know the basics of crochet (UK double and treble crochet). You should be able to work in basic rows or make a granny square for example. You will be taught how to read crochet patterns and charts through the process of making a pair of cosy wrist warmers/mitts. You will learn how to add colour, texture, and lace detail to your projects. Participants will be given great tips for getting a professional finish on your projects as well as how to block for the perfect shape. Everyone will be able to work at their own pace in a relaxed environment.

    I've moved to foundation stitches from chains, but I was struggling to keep the same tension on both sides. Then saw a video by someone of this technique, but I was doing very uncomfortable splits with my fingers. Your method is both comfortable and easy to understand and solves my tension issues too. :) Thank you!

    I s there a way to change colors on the cord chain?

    • @FionaMeadeCrochet
      @FionaMeadeCrochet 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@itscherylm you would have to change colour on both ends of the yarn. An option could be to calculate the yarn lengths as if you were doing it in one colour. Work to the point you want to change colour, then cut a length in the new colour to match the leftover tail end length. Then swap out the ball colour and then the tail colour by yarning over in the new colour in sequence. I hope that helps!

    Thank you❤I love your idea because I can use it making a basket handle. I just added the tail end because I haven't cast off, yet. I didn't want to make the foundation chain so it worked perfectly for me.

    Hello - that’s the first time I’ve seen those maths on determining how long the tail should be. Does that work for knitting as well? Thank you!!

    • @FionaMeadeCrochet
      @FionaMeadeCrochet ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, I think it should work for a knitted long tail cast on too - as often they say to wrap your yarn around the needle for as many stitches as you intend to cast on - which is just what we're doing here mathematically!

    How can I fix it if my first row is too tight and I've already finished my blanket?

    • @FionaMeadeCrochet
      @FionaMeadeCrochet 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Sheila, that's a bit trickier but it is possible. You need to insert a "life-line" into the feet of the stitches of the first row and carefully cut away the old foundation chain, then remake it with a bigger hook - this webpage shows you what to do - by-katerina.com/crochet-tips-tricks-remake-foundation-chain/
