Yay! I'm a teacher! (Kinda)

So, yesterday, I taught my first "class" how to crochet granny squares. :) Well, my class was a group of my friends. It went a little slowly at first, as one of my friends is a lefty. She managed without specific help, which was awesome. All of them have done some crochet, but they are mainly knitters. Which is why I giggled at them the whole time. :) They hold their yarn and guide the yarn instead of mastering the hook. I was quite impressed with how quickly some of them picked it up. For example, my best friend started off VERY slowly but when it was done it looked great. She then made two more after I left! :) That makes me happy. I think all of them need to work more on their tension. I think the knitting fingers had a lot to do with that. :P All in all, it was lots of fun. They want another crochet night, so I'll have to come up with a project with some new stitches for them to learn. I think that will be lots of fun. :)

Playing Teacher

So, my mom is coming up tomorrow to learn some stitches. I can't believe I'm going to be teaching her. She's the one who taught me how to do the sc, dc and tc. I think it is cool she wants to learn to make other things. I'm going to show her how to do rounds so she can make cat toys and I think I'll show her post stitches since they are so versatile. Needless to say...I'm excited! Plus, I can show off my new found ability to NOT SMOKE. (I'm proud of myself, what can I say). If we finish anything, I'll be sure to take pictures and post them here.

Woot woot for teaching crochet!
