Well done!!

 

You should now move yourself up a level from what ever you felt you were before.

 

Novice - upgrade to beginner, or advanced beginner are options.

 

You should go for advanced beginner. Understanding patterns is one thing.

Being able to help another corcheter understand one is a huge step up. MO.

Is it not a wonderful feeling to figure something out for someone? Keep up the great work!!!

Good Choice!!!

 

The important idea is to keep moving along and developing your skill.

 

Maybe we all can consider coming up with a set of classification.

 

Example -

 

Novice - understands basic stitches and can readily execute each but needs

to check manual for certainty before completing piece.

 

Beginner - completes a basic pattern without having to check st formation.

 

Advanced beginner - (you) - can follow a pattern with minimal or no frogging.

able to interpret pattern directions to another.

 

Here's where other ideas come into play.

What would be the next level?

 

Once the Expert one is reached. perhaps the all can become part of the

Crochetville.

Being a New Neighbor, there may be such of whioch I am unaware.

 

Thoughts anyone?

It's such a pleasure to share our craft and watch the spark of understanding come to a fellow hooker! To see them experience the joy, the sheer exhiliration of figuring out what the heck they mean by sk next sc, hdc in next sc, hdc in sk'd sc.... HUH???? you want me to go backwards? uh, okay...

it was really funny, because a few months ago i was trying to do a pattern and it said ch-2 sp what the?

so i went to a crochet/knit site and asked, because it just wasnt doing what it was supposed to do. it was a "duh" moment for me when it was explained.

this woman in work crochets, but she's more of a knitter - we still like her - and she's been trying to make this shawl - pineapple something or other - and she couldn't get past the first three rows.

she didnt know what a "cs-2 sp" was. she just thought it was the space between two stitches.....

so it was really fun to be able to show this "intermeidate knitter"
