Materials list
Please bring size 2-5 knitting needles and similar sized crochet hooks. However, if you prefer to work either smaller or larger, make sure to pack appropriate sized tools. Double pointed metal needles are only 7” and thus easier to knit with. Bring jewelry pliers and wire cutters if you have them though this wire is fine enough to use scissors, if needed. If you would like to incorporate beads into your work, it would be best to bring them. Also, this can be fine work so bring magnifiers if you use them. Extra spools of wire will be available for purchase from instructor as needed. |
