The best part about taking classes from a published author is that you can buy their books and take them home with you. I found it was like taking Lori home with me to answer all my questions. I recently took a class with Lori Harrison at Bird House Yarn here in Tucson. I do admit that the class pushed me in ways I would never have gone. Almost everything up until that point was self taught by watching you tube tutorials and watching people do Tunisian crochet. I do admit that I took one class while Eric was in declining health. My mind was elsewhere, but I as trying to distract myself and get a few hours to just breathe. It was not in hindsight the best plan to learn new subject matter.
I wanted to learn to do Tunisian crochet in the round for awhile and a class came up. I have learned so much from the class. I was able to rip out my class work and change the colors around. The books and Lori’s on line videos helped immensely. I am now about to start the 3 round again. I did a little refresh by looking at the books.
I also took pictures of the relevant pages to put in my phone, so I can take the project on the go and not carry 2 extra books with me. That way I can use a much smaller bag for my project.
Below are pictures of the front covers of Lori’s books. Signed copies of both books are available at Bird House Yarns. I encourage you to buy the Books from Bird House Yarns, both books are available online, or your Local Yarn Shops. All small businesses are in need of sales right now. You can find Lori’s website at Aklori Designs. You will find videos and her complete pattern collection there too.
