Extreme Knitting: Radical Crochet
This group will run as a private Facebook page, which means as many IGO folk who want to can join in.
Members can post as and when they have a project they are working on or ask for advice from the rest of the group. Projects and info will be posted on Facebook so that members can access it when convenient.
Subjects covered may include the following but also ideas from members:
- Modular knitting
- Stripes and the Fibonacci sequence
- Designing your own garments such as jumpers, jackets, scarves and household items such as throws, cushions, etc.
- Using up your stash
- Modern and vintage crochet motifs.
- Scrumbling
- Colour mixing
- Researching knit and crochet designers for inspiration
Ann Faulkner, the group leader, is the author of the two pictures on this web page. The top picture is a collage of several of Ann's designs using crochet as well as knittings. The bottom is a mohair throw made from several squares knitted separately and sewn together. The stripes use toning colours from Ann's mohair stash and were designed using the Fibonacci sequence.
