I live in a rural area of Ms, so access to a yarn shop and classes is limited. My grandmother taught me to crochet a granny square when I was 8 and I have been crocheting ever since. I have been asked to teach a class. If anyone has any suggestions on dos and don't please let me know. My first class will be crocheting a ladies sock.

Thanks

Good luck to you; I'm sure you'll succeed. I have no suggestions, tho'. Wait, I have one - don't stand or sit in front of a window, lol. All your students will see is a silhouette.

Yikes! Sorry to be so repetitious. Where did the delete command go?

I taught a beginners class once. I only had two people to teach, but it was fun. I had them start out with a size h hook and worsted weight yarn. We just worked on basic stitches and reading a pattern, and I gave them a couple of patterns to practice each time we learned new stitches so the class built on itself. I'm not much more than a beginner myself, so there wasn't a lot of complexity in anything. :)

I, too, live in rural south Mississippi, and am teaching a crochet class. I started the class with 13 and we have grown to 20. about half are crocheters who just wanted to visit with other crocheters. Six had some experience, but needed refreshing, and four were "crochet virgins." One of those four is a leftie, but we mirrored the actions.

Our learning pattern is the Special Olympics Scarf, and we will be sending our finished projects to the olympians in December.
