I had a great day on Saturday at Calico and Ivy teaching a lovely collection of new knitters. In truth there were only two really never had knitted before but the other 4 had learnt at some time or other and were back off and running in no time. The two beginners were not that far behind. We knit small wrist bands then everyone started off on their cowls. We are following this up in a month with a ‘What’s next” class.
Next round of classes are going to include socks again and another clinic – I will keep you all posted
They must have felt so proud to produce something so wearable so quickly. I love the way you’ve devised manageable projects for your learn to knit classes. Like the pics too!
i agree with lyn, i think this is the key to successful teaching, set achievable goals! im so glad you’re doing more of this, keep spreading the knit love!
I love teaching new people how to knit too. Great idea to have them knit a wrist band!
That’s pretty awesome. I’m glad to see that you’re getting more peeps addicted to this evil, I mean, wonderful craft.
