Intro to Tunisian Crochet
Tunisian crochet is often described as a mix between crochet and knitting. As in knitting you will at times have many live stitches, and as in crochet you will use only one hook. But in Tunisian crochet your hook will have a long cord, with length determined by project size.
The class fee includes a skein of yarn. You are welcome to bring your favorite size 4mm (G, US6) and size 5.5mm (I, US9) crochet hook with you, and Liz will bring extras to loan out.
While we'll be making a small sample project and won't need a corded hook for this class, Liz will bring a variety Tunisian crochet hook sets and talk over their pros and cons.
This workshop will cover the Tunisian Crochet Simple Stitch (Tss) and will include a handout for recommendations on resources for future learning.
The class size is limited to 6 people to ensure plenty of time to ask questions and receive direct instruction.
The foundation of Tunisian crochet starts with a chain stitch, so the instructor asks that if you haven't picked up a hook in awhile, get a little practice in before the workshop.

Mastery of Single Crochet Required.
In 2025, existing is resisting. Even in the trash heap, we can still create pockets of radical joy and community care. Because when they try to freeze solidarity? We crochet warmth and rage against the machine.
This workshop rejects the idea that existing under authoritarian creep means accepting despair. Here, we reclaim play as power: stitching literal flames keeps our collective fire alive, while tangled yarn becomes communion — laughter woven tight enough to unravel the isolation these systems thrive on.
