SUMMARY:Lace Crochet Workshop\, part 1
DESCRIPTION:We all probably remember grandmothers or aunts who had “Antimacassars” or lace crocheted covers that protected the arms of chairs and sofas from wear and tear. This lace is created by working chains and other tall stitches to create beautiful openwork patterns. During this two-day workshop you will learn about various stitches\, tension\, and work on two specific projects.\nIn our first class\, we will get acquainted with the stitches to be used and practicing tension. Crochet tension describes how loose or tight your crocheting is. It takes a little practice to keep your stitches/tension even throughout your project. The first project we be making a dishcloth using a worsted weight yarn. This size yarn and a size “H” crochet hook will make it easier to see and work the stitches.\nLongtime BCHS and  Nan Pearson leads this workshop imparting over forty years of crocheting knowledge and expertise.  \nPart 2 of this workshop takes place on November 9.  \n$50 includes both workshops and all materials. Reservations are required; call 413 442 1793 or email melville@berkshirehistory.org.\nThis workshop is sponsored by Greylock Federal Credit Union.

SUMMARY:Lace Crochet Workshop\, part 2
DESCRIPTION:In this second class of this two-part workshop\, you will work with size 10 crochet thread and a steel size “1” crochet hook. The project will be a crocheted snowflake. We will be using some of the same stitches used in the first project in addition to learning some new ones. \nLace can be crocheted using any size yarn or thread. Once you’ve accomplished the second project\, you can try smaller thread and crochet hooks to make even more intricate/delicate designs. Patterns are readily available online and elsewhere. \nLongtime BCHS and  Nan Pearson leads this workshop imparting over forty years of crocheting knowledge and expertise.  \nPart 1 of this workshop takes place on November 2.  \n$50 includes both workshops and all materials.
