Availability: In stock

Regular Price: $75.00

Special Price: $50.00

Quick Overview

Are you already familiar with the basics of broomstick lace? (If not, take our Introduction to Broomstick Lace to learn the basics including increasing, decreasing, short-rowing and working in the round.) Have you ever seen broomstick lace patterns in a book or magazine? Chances are that you have seen only one pattern (or variation thereof) - but Broomstick Lace is so much more!

In this class Stitch Diva lead designer, Jennifer Hansen, will introduce concepts behind non-traditional stitch patterning, borrowing from hairpin lace the art of working broomstick loops in fresh new ways to create stunning, airy fabrics that are very quick to work up. We will work on a stitch sampler in the class to practice technique fundamentals, and also explore mixing broomstick lace with traditional crochet stitches to learn how to use broomstick as an embellishment technique.

Morning session also available to learn the basics. Take both sessions and get a free buffet lunch.
