  • 4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide
    4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide Crocheting is one of the oldest needlework arts. To crochet means to form yarn or thread into a fabric using a hook. Its name comes from the French word croche, meaning “hook.” The crochet hook was one of many tools first used to make delicate lace. As time went on, more stitches and designs came into being, and crocheting became a separate art. Crocheting appeals to many people because it can be used to make a variety of creations, such as scarves, caps, vests, sweaters, purses, belts, lace, doilies, tablecloths, afghans, pillow covers, and bedspreads. In the 4-H Crocheting Project, you can learn to: • Crochet articles for yourself and others • Select, use, and care for crocheting tools • Work and share with others in your club • Keep simple records of your project and activities The 4-H Crocheting project is divided into six phases. Skills to learn and suggested articles to make are on page 2. Your club leader will teach you how to do basic crochet stitches and help you find patterns to use as you learn. When you reach the advanced phases, you’ll need to choose patterns from a variety of pattern books, needlework books, and magazines. You can find these at newsstands, notions counters, fabric stores, or specialty shops that sell yarn and thread. If you want to show others what you learn in the Crocheting project, check with your leader about exhibiting articles at fairs or other community events. If you make an article to wear, you might like to model in your county 4-H fashion revue.

  • Patchwork and Quilting Holidays - 2021 Project Choices & Kit List
    Patchwork and Quilting Holidays - 2021 Project Choices & Kit List Project Choices: Samplers, Seminole, Beautiful Bargello & Delectable Mountain For 2021 we are going to continue our exploration of all things sampler and stripy, as well as offering the lovely Delectable Mountain! Sampler Blocks and the new Seminole Sampler Patchwork (where the patchwork patterns are worked in rows rather than blocks) are fun and very versatile and great for learning lots of new patchwork techniques. Choose from a wide range of designs to make useful and beautiful items. Beautiful Bargello projects will still be available, plus Clare‘s new Modern Art Bargello designs - one using wonderful batik landscape fabric for a quick and easy `cheats‘ Bargello and the other a pictoral quilt with a flexible Bargello section within it. New for 2021 are several variations of the traditional design - 'Delectable Mountain'! This is a lovely design with a modern feel if made with just two contrasting plain fabrics - or it is an ideal scrap buster or layer cake project for a very different look. Once the blocks are made (with Clare’s favourite ‘speedy’ method) there are many different ways they can be used, so lots to play with! Christmas 2021 - Join us for a festive Christmas Patchwork Weekend! Make a quick Christmas quilt, wall hanging, table runner, placemats, coasters, or bunting; lovely for your home or to give as gifts.

Our patchwork and quilting holidays offer a great opportunity to finish those UFOs (Unfinished Objects) or WIPs (Works In Progress) - with the luxury of time, space and expert advice on hand if needed – you can finally see those projects completed! If you have a kit you've started and gotten stuck - or been unable to start at all - do bring it along and we'll get things moving.

  • How to Calculate the Right Number of Stitches
    How to calculate the right number of stitches You have found a great stitch, either in knitting or crochet. You want to use it for your next project. Or you just want to make a simple shape item in one of the basic stitches. Maybe a scarf, cowl, a baby blanket, an afghan, poncho, bag, cushion cover etc. Here’s how you calculate how many stitches you need: Project width x Stitches in sample Sample width Let’s look at this in detail. First: 1. Decide what you will make and how wide it needs to be 2. Decide what kind of stitches you want to use 3. Select the yarn and hook/needles for your project 4. Knit / crochet a small sample piece, using the SAME yarn, hook/needles and stitch you will be using in the project How to make the sample Both knitting and crochet If your project will be knitted/crocheted in the round, make also the sample in the round. After each row, carry the yarn loosely at the back to the start of the row and begin knit- ting/crocheting across the right side of the work again. Crochet – Take the yarn and hook you are planning to use for the project This does not work if you don’t have the same size of the hook as for the actual project! – Make a chain that is over 10 cm/ 4 inches long. A good length is 14 cm / 5½ in. – Start crocheting using the stitches you want for your project. – Crochet back and forth until the piece is at least 5 cm / 2 in long.
