I fell into it

[Knit Happens]

For a year now, I've been teaching anyone who asks me to crochet. I find that someone sees that someone else is doing it, and eventually they ask me would I mind? No, I don't mind at all. This began really with someone asking a friend of mine for whom I'd made an afghan if I'd make one for her...and my friend replied...no, but I'm sure she'd teach you how to make one for yourself. It has snowballed from there. Has this been anyone else's experience? Also, I'm teaching an actual 4 week knitting class in the spring, and I am ridiculously excited about it!!! It is for a local non-profit, so I'm doing something good for my neighborhood at the same time.

It is so cool to teach others to crochet!! I am part of a little group teaching some kids to crochet and I am loving it!! I know what you mean by feeling very excited about it!! I love to make plans for the next class!!

It happened to me, too! I took a project with me to a homeschool group meeting, and long-story-short, I meet every week with a group of homeschooled girls (whose moms are not crafty), our yarn, our hooks, and our patterns. It makes me very happy. Share the addiction!!!

It would be so wonderful to crochet for a living...I wouldn't ever have to work again!

You should read the Debbie Macomber books "A Good Yarn" and the rest of the Blossom Street series. You will be able to relate!

Yes, and I admit I enjoy it. Currently I've got a group of 3...one more advanced then the others but still needing help with pattern reading. We meet weekly and try to get some crocheting done/learned.

That is so cool! I have offered to teach a lot of people, but only a couple have taken me up on it.

I have that happen all the time. I am currently teaching three different women with different ability levels, and its fun to see how excited they get each time they learn a new stitch.
