I taught myself with a little book that was about 20 years old at the time. I've never taken any kind of crafting class. Maybe you could teach a sock knitting class?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581612215378945075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-39015223902214323162007-03-17T11:14:00.000-04:002007-03-17T11:14:00.000-04:00Excellent additions to the categories.

I took a class and learned to knit the Wonderful Wallaby; it was a fun class and a fun pattern. And it left me fearless of sweaters. If I remember correctly, the class was once a week for four weeks. And if necessary knitters could extend it to six. But all of us had our sweaters done in four or less.

How fun to be invited to teach in the knitting classes. ARe you going to do it? Sorry, I didn't take any classes, but I think something like colour knitting techniques (like double-knitting, stranding, intarsia) or ideas for casting on/cast off and their uses would have interested me when I was a new knitter.schrodingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482713963005048339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-53845214680183762392007-03-15T20:21:00.000-04:002007-03-15T20:21:00.000-04:00Heavens you've got a fun blog!
