This course takes an in-depth look at 3 Heritage Lace techniques: Broomstick Lace, Hairpin Lace and Tunisian Crochet and Lace.
Each technique is given some historical background and a detailed look at the tools used, so students can make their own choice about which ones to purchase.
Students with basic crochet knowledge learn how to easily create Broomstick Lace and Broomstick Mesh with the use of knitting needles and how to design with and incorporate this technique into their own projects.
Students learn how to use different size hairpins to make Hairpin strips for one strip creations and how to combine several strips for larger designs.
Students learn how to master the basic Tunisian stitch, Tunisian half-double, Tunisian cross stitch and Tunisian knit stitch. They progress to complete Tunisian Lace.
Time for practice, project ideas and design suggestions are included in each section.
