Bias Workshop of Lily Chin

Awesome!  I expected a good workshop, given Lily's reputation -- and it was far from good--it was magnificent.  Whenever time passes for me and I an unaware of it - I am totally engaged in an activity.   Crochet with Bias, held today, at the Arlington Hts Library and sponsored by the NIC was  totally engaging.
  Lily is an excellent teacher, engaging, entertaining, informative.  Her timing and ability to keep all the participants' attention was without flaw.  She is funny, too. 
  I learned so much -- within the few five minutes I learned two new things.  After 6 hours my mind was as full and as overflowing as the room which holds my stash and UFO's.  I got an unexpected and valuable lesson in color theory.  I saw all the usual and unusual and creative ways to use bias crochet.  By the end of the day I had designed a top to fit me, crocheted on the bias.  I've written my own patterns many a time, but never for clothes -- as Lily put it -- I am a crochet clothes virgin.  I feel confident that I could crochet the top I sketched on graph paper to fit my measurements, right now, and it is crocheted on the bias.   I was seated next to Cindy and Jeannie and enjoyed that, too.
