We will also cover how to weave in all those ends to create a fabric that is both beautiful and long wearing, plus tricks for blocking and edging your granny square project. For those that want, Andee will show how the 16 squares from the homework can be made into a bag.

PRE- WORK BEFORE CLASS:
Using “Helen’s Yarn Adventures” pattern, students need to make 4 squares that are 3 Rounds each and 12 squares that are 4 Rounds each.
