Tall stitch symbols I played around with while preparing to teach the Tall Stitch Virtuosity class for #cgoa2020 . They look like tasty kebabs in the top row and Sea Monkeys below them 😂 . #crochetclass #crochetsymbols #tallstitch #chainlink2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDR4mzRJ3Bb/?igshid=4oo0ycljnyu1

Super tall crochet stitches in size 10 thread. The star shape tests linked baseless talls (like linking into that orange tall stitch fringe I posted last week). I'm swatching for the Tall Stitch Virtuosity class I'll be teaching for the online CGOA conference this month!!

These 8 tall-stitch swatches have a lot going on but right now I'm just comparing changes in overall row heights and widths. Swatched & blocked them in March while the pandemic news was breaking. Today is the day I can listen to everything they want to tell me. I want to know of changes in loose top loops, surface texture, stitch shapes, and stability (hey swatch in the top right corner I'm looking at you). This is research for my Tall Stitch Virtuosity class in 23 days!!! . #crochetersgonnacrochet #quarantinecrochet #crochetclass #cgoa2020 #chainlink2020 #crochetswatch #crochetteacher https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHCLXUpSHK/?igshid=ob0ijbc0plnj

These flowers start out as rectangles. I like it when unexpected shapes and textures result from simple flat geometry. It's one of the many things I love about about #crochet actually. Swatches for a class I'm teaching for CGOA's first-ever virtual #crochetconference next month!! . #cgoa2020 #chainlink2020 #swatching #crochetflowers #designingvashtilotus #crochetclass #crochetsummer https://www.instagram.com/p/CBwPxXeJab7/?igshid=ufoxaxrwax1j
