Are you fed up with following instructions? Are you ready to get really creative? Freeform is the technique for you! According to the International Freeform Crochet Guild, freeform crochet is " like painting. The hook is a brush and the yarn a paint. The result can be abstract or realistic. Freeform is original design, not a reproduction of another person's pattern, it goes beyond the realm of patterns and restrictions that usually apply toward our art. The outcome is a piece of art like no other, not only functional, but beautiful as well. Freeform includes 2-D and 3-D art, clothing and useful items." Come to class and learn how to create forms, how to construct "scrumbles", how to join, fibers to use (and avoid), stitch techniques, and how to turn your new fabric or item into something useful or wearable. Bring along your hook collection, and all those little leftover balls of yarn you have in your stash from other projects. Think of a color scheme ahead of time, or just throw it all in a bag and make the decisions when you get to class.
