I was a little nervous about my new beginning knitting class, because it is really big: 22 student. I always have a friend helping me the first 2-3 sessions while we do cast on, knit and purl. But even with two teachers, that's a lot. But guess what? They did great. Every single one of them managed to cast on and they were all knitting by the end of the two hours. This is two excellent groups in a row. Are the students getting handier or am I getting better at teaching them? Is that arrogant of me to ask? Anyway, it's probably both.
When everything goes fine, I really do love teaching.
Hey Alison! I'm wondering where you teach. I have a friend in Brooklyn who is trying to teach herself how to knit, and she's a bit stuck. I was going to give her a mini lesson myself, but it looks like I won't be able to get in to see her any time soon. I was going to suggest she sign up for one of your classes (or maybe you could recommend someone else, since your class has already started). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
