Teaching your craft

My daughter asked me to teach her crochet, but I did not because I cannot read patterns so I felt it might be better if I paid for classes. I paid for her classes at Michaels last Christmas, and I am very happy that I did that rather than teaching her.

I've taught a couple of my friends how to crochet. It usually works out well.

i know how to crochet and have been taught by an officemate on how to do it and I am very much welcome to those who wants to learn to crochet. It does need patience to teach crochet coz its a somehow complicated task, but I was able to teach one of my house mates and I was there during the making period of the galss cover that I asked her to do. She was also a willing student and now she can make crochets and thats an achievement on my part.

I have taught knitting to a friend because she was really interested and would like to create her own scarves. She was able to finish one scarf. However, we parted ways before we could do more. I also know how to crochet and am very willing to teach anybody who wants to learn. I love doing things with my hands, and I love to share to others what I know. I believe the student must be motivated, and the teacher must have lots of patience, flexibility and creativity. One technique I use, I choose very easy projects that can be finished in a few minutes. The student will then feel some accomplishment, and will be motivated to do more. When my student starts getting frustrated, I just tell them that the hardest part is the "beginning". When they get the hang of it, then the rest will be easier.

Well my good friend asked me to teach her and fromthe first lesson she lost interest. My babies now, I thought the girls would have learnt faster but the boys cuaght on faster and much better than the girls. This reminds I need to have back that session in Youth Fellowship. They loved it.
