We had a full house! at the Tunisian Crochet workshop_Lisa Daehlin_American Folk Art Museum_3may2012

The guards watched over the art and our learning… greatly aided by the technology made available by the museum. (Thank you also to Richard for the tech assistance!)

We covered a lot of ground, I was moving pretty quickly to give some individual attention to these very skilled and learned women, many of them teachers as well.

Fortunate to have an angel watching over the proceedings (if you haven’t yet visited the wonders in this museum’s collection, get thee to Lincoln Square!).

Vogue Knitting was gracious to offer the loan of some items I’ve designed for their publications so we could have them on hand for the evening. Broomstick Lace / Tunisian Crochet Jacket from spring/summer’12 crochet issue of Vogue Knitting. Designed and made by Lisa Daehlin
