This project gives you several possibilities for the crochet rope.... a bracelet, a necklace, lariat.....There is homework to be completed prior to class, so call for instuctions. For people on the go, this is a great project. It travels easily on your journeys, even to work....if your therapy means beading through lunch! A basic knowledge of crochet would be helpful. The class runs under $10.00 for the bracelet.
