Description: Knitted or Crocheted, until properly blocked, lace doesn't live up to it's potential.  Learn different ways of blocking specific to lace and how to treat various fibers.  This is a hands-on class, you will need to bring at least three lace swatches - no smaller than 6" square.  At least one of your swatches should have a fiber content of 70% or more wool.  Any size yarn works for these swatches, just use the appropriate sized hook or needle.  Use this opportunity to try out a lace stitch, your imagination is the limit!

Skill Level: Suitable for all levels of knitting experience

Homework: Work at least 3 swatches, using any yarn (at least one should be 70 or more wool). Use any lace pattern you choose and needles appropriate to the yarn you have chosen.  Each swatch should be at least 6" square.

Tools Needed:  Blocking mats (12"x 12" is fine - at least 1 per swatch); rustproof T-pins; blocking wires (regular, not super fine)-optional, but recommended; tape measure; tapestry needle

Materials Fee: None
