Barb and Cynthia are guest instructors at the next Rowan Connect event, taking place on Friday and Saturday, June 7 and 8.

For all the details and registration, visit: www.rowanconnect.live. Trust us, there are a lot of great classes you should definitely consider! And we'll be teaching two classes as well:
Crochet For Knitters with Barb Barone and Cynthia Hyslop
Friday, June 7th starting at 8:00 am PDT, 9:00 am MDT, 10:00 am CDT, 11:00 am EDT, 12:00 pm ADT and 12:30 pm in NL.
A crochet hook is more than just a handy tool for knitters to repair a dropped stitch. Learn how to make a crocheted chain for cording, how to crochet cast on to your knitting needle for a beautiful edge that matches your cast off or for a provisional cast on. The chain stitch can also be used for embellishment on your knitted fabric. We’ll also try out crochet stitches for edgings, for seaming, buttonholes and for steeking or folding your knitted fabric.
Bringing It All Together: Crochet Joins with Barb & Cynthia
Saturday, June 8th starting at 8:00 am PDT, 9:00 am MDT, 10:00 am CDT, 11:00 am EDT, 12:00 pm ADT and 12:30 pm in NL..
In this workshop, Barb and Cynthia will demonstrate and share how to prepare and join straight edges using both crochet and sewing techniques. These techniques will enable you to tackle both crochet and knit squares, panels, sweaters and other shapes. Participants are invited to bring along crocheted squares and participate, or watch the demo and ask questions, working along later with the video recording. US and UK crochet terminology will be explained and both terms will be used in the class.
