Join us for a beginner Tunisian crochet class with instructor Ilse Watkins. If you’ve ever been curious about this beautiful hybrid of knitting and crochet, this is your chance to dive in!

You’ll learn the foundational stitches, how to hold and work a Tunisian hook, and how to create that signature woven texture that makes this technique so addictive. Ilse will guide you step-by-step, so you can feel confident whether you’re brand new or just looking to try something different.

Materials and a hook will be provided, just bring yourself and get ready to fall in love with a new fiber craft favorite.

This class will meet in person at 460B Knollwood Street. Ilse is also happy to provide continued project support at Wicked Good Wool.

About your instructor, Ilse Watkins

Ilse Watkins was born and raised in Germany at a time where knitting and crochet was taught in school. She crocheted her first poncho at the age of 9. She has knitted over 100 sweaters for friends and family, most of them of her own design. She enjoyed working at a Yarn Store in Hannover, Germany, for a couple of years.
She moved to the United States in 1988 and recently taught Tunisian crochet classes at The ArtSHAC, as well as the Blue Ridge Fiber Fest in Sparta and is currently teaching a weekly knitting/crochet class at the Walnut Cove Senior Center and the Library in Walkertown.
Her teaching style is both patient and fun. She is constantly expanding her knowledge with books and the YouTube channel and loves to try new things. She keeps her hands busy with a wide variety of projects including a 6’ mandala, Amigurumi, socks, gloves, hats and scarves (who knows what she'll make next.)
She sells her craft at the Cricket's Nest and the Farmer's Market at Hanging Rock State Park.
