Dino Crochet
Kerry Lord has developed a wonderful crochet TOY
animal making system. The toys are safe for young children.
They sit up by themselves on a toy self. They are built to take
real play. But, most importantly, they make everyone smile.
Your first dinosaur will be made with Toft DK, a wool yarn that
is perfectly suited to toy making. The soft and squishy Toft
yarn fills in the spaces between stitches so that your stuffing
will not peek out.
Your kit includes Toft yarn for your first dinosaur, booklet for
15 dinosaurs, and stuffing. All you will need to bring to class
is a Size C crochet hook.

The Shift
Your knitting world will expand when you learn mosaic and slip
stitch color knitting.
You will use only one yarn at a time on a row of knitting, but
the clever use of slip stitches will create the illusion of more
complicated color work. Kate will guide you through a few
swatches to help you understand these techniques. Then she’ll
help you choose colors in class for your own version of The

COW L
Shift, a design by Andrea Mowry. You’ll
get a good start on your Shift in class, and then meet few
weeks later to complete the finishing details together in class.
