New Tatter's Basic Class Info

Welcome to the Class!

Class will begin on Thursday nights at 9pm (ET), come earlier for open chat.

Classes will run about 6 times per year with a break during North American summer with breaks between to allow for extra help by class members before moving up to the regular class (also held in the same class room), or for Mimi and Katia to discuss possible changes in the program.

Tools for online work: Internet Explorer or other web-browser to use the Classroom. Note: this site requires java scripts be enabled.

The classroom is Internet Relay Chat based, so you may use any IRC client instead if you prefer (or wish to avoid java scripts). Tammy Rogers has provided us with instructions on how to use mIRC here.

Because of the restricted class time, and amount of information to be covered, we ask that you please check this site and read/look at the classes during the week prior to class. This will allow for us to move along faster, as well as give you time to think about the class and questions you may have for us.

PLEASE Bring these Items to EACH Class:

  • Shuttle or Needle
  • 2 Colors of thread (nothing fancy... thicker is better to start)
  • 1 Small crochet hook (shuttles may have this on the tip)
  • 1 pair scissors or other thread cutting tool
  • 1 notebook to hold your printouts/samples

Also, Check out the Completed Homework page! Scans from our students will be posted as we recieve them. If you have scans you would like to include please send them to us! Let's show off what we are learning!

Also, if you notice any broken links or info that needs to be changed in ANY way please email the teachers. We want to make this site easy to navigate for everyone!

A big THANK YOU to Anita who originally wrote most of the content of these pages in 2006. Katia and Mimi are building on it.
