The class was wonderful!!! Thank you Ann, Denine and Rochelle for coming!!!!
So what did we work on?
Ann finished her pair of Easy Socks! Congratulations!!! I am so very proud of you :). It has not been the easiest project in the sense that most of e projects before were completed in worsted or bulky weight yarn. The sock ( of course) is in a sock weight yarn. It was a learning experience, and she did a very good job! Ann, are you ready to make more socks as gifts?
Denine was working on a child’s brim hat for her friend’s daughters. The hat is designed to be with a brim (thus the name), but she is considering not to do the brim, but instead finish off the hat with a row of a crab stitch (reverse single crochet). The crown of the first hat -hardest part- is done, you are on the right track, just keep it going :).
It was a very first crochet class for Rochelle. She just learned how to knit, so crocheting was very easy for her. We have decided (meaning I decided) that she should hold the yarn exactly the same way as in knitting. I chained approximately 15 and started three rows of single crochet for her, showed her how to work sc and off she went. She was very quick and stitches were very even.
Many people get intimidated by increases and decreases, so the very first project I have all my new students make is a crochet ball. Very small fast going project to learn increases, decreases, counting stitches, moving a stitch marker, and learning how to read a pattern. How much else can you ask from a project completed in less than an hour? Rochelle did a very good job in making this ball!!! Just stuff and sew it.
All in all the class was great!
