I will be doing the crochet borders class this Friday at 9 am EST (NewYork, Toronto). If you go to the calendar tab, you will see it in your time zone. I will be teaching some crochet basics, and then how to create a foundation row around your work, and a simple pattern to make a nice border. You will be trying this with Kim as she does it, so please have a test tube of 52 rows, knitted and closed on both ends using a 4-weight acrylic yarn. You will also need some more of the same yarn and a 5mm H8 crochet hook for this course. If you are a Premium or VIP member, this is included in your membership.
