Learn it...

Have you ever set out to crochet a sweater, spent days of work and hundreds of dollars on yarn, only to end up with something you never wear because it just looks wrong? Marly Bird to the rescue!

In Curvy Crochet, you'll select the perfect pattern for your shape, and make easy fit adjustments to bust, sleeves, neckline and other trouble spots. You'll discover the luxurious yarns that make great plus-size clothes, and the ones that spell disaster every time. And you'll learn how to transform swatching from a tedious task into a valuable tool. You'll use your favorite sweater, right out of your closet, to tell you things you never knew about yourself. And you'll make your very own custom dress form ... from duct tape! Get advice and help from Marly as you learn the same techniques designers use for a perfect fit and finish every time. Marly's energy and humor makes it all fun!

Sign up today for Curvy Crochet. Take control of your wardrobe and create beautiful things you'll wear with pride!

Marlaina "Marly" Bird fled the world of financial services to launch her Yarn Thing podcast and hasn't looked back since. To Marly, a bi-craftsy girl who both knits and crochets, the yarn is the star, not how you work with it. She's creative director for Bijou Basin Ranch Yarns and the co-author of Curvy Crochet (Leisure Arts, 2011). You’ve seen her designs in Knit Simple, Interweave Crochet, Knitscene, Inside Crochet, Wild Fiber and Petite Purls, and in the books Perfectly Plus and Knitting Plus. In her spare time she raises three kids and teaches at her local yarn store in suburban Denver.

Excellent Love Marly's Classes  May 14, 2012

Marly is a very knowledgeable and witty instructor that makes learning new things so enjoyable. Hope to meet her someday. Loved the course and feel confident that from now on all of my crocheted wearables will fit perfectly. Love the Craftsy format that allows me to have long term access to the classes, access to ask the instructors questions and see the comments and projects of fellow classmates. Hope to see more courses by Marly in the future.
