What ...My girls finally figured out how to crochet. What finally worked for them was me telling them that it didn't matter what they did or where they put the hook cause there was this thing called freeform crocheting and with that, anything is ok. They finally relaxed enough to just work on getting the right motions. A bit more time and I'll try to help them work on "the right way" again but first, I keep them busy weaving dish cloths cause we need them ;)chipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11063520094539344254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372582043621937708.post-67889654143299909062011-03-14T11:04:46.109-07:002011-03-14T11:04:46.109-07:00Neat!

I also showed her your quote about it not being a nuclear reactor out of crochet and that to remember it is fun, not serious, just do her best. She'll remember that a lot more than if I said it first. ;)Freakmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08983797840271997027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372582043621937708.post-1257583964575199052011-03-02T09:41:47.935-08:002011-03-02T09:41:47.935-08:00I taught single crochet to Sophia's class two ...I taught single crochet to Sophia's class two weeks ago. Three students "got it" and are working on long rectangles of scrap yarn (scarves? who knows?). The other 16 were in the nuclear reactor group. I'd forgotten about waldorf teaching knitting first. I never thought about it as easier but I know for me it is...<br /><br />We've moved on to soda straw weaving. Since it's a classroom and many of the students grumbled when they heard we were working with fiber this semester, I don't want to push any one thing--just give a smattering of ideas. <br /><br />I don't even know how to make 3 dimensional objects (that aren't 2 dimensional sewn together like those mitts). I would love to be able to do amigurumi. Probably just need to focus and try.Bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843150280542615265noreply@blogger.com
