A little while ago, my neighbor wanted me to teach her how to crochet and I was so happy that she asked! However, I honestly had no clue where to start! So, I followed the time honored tradition of teaching her the same way I was taught by my 80 year old mentor several years ago: we started with a pot holder. Double layered, sc all the way (to practice with even tension and just getting a feel for the hook and yarn). It's a very forgiving pattern. Look how happy she is that she finished it!! I am so proud of her progress and how quickly she's picking things up! Our next project is hanging towels, and she's already practically completed her first one of those. I can already tell she's got the itch though, because she sent me pictures of the pretty new yarn that she bought a week ago, but showed up to the house with a color I hadn't seen! I am so happy, and more than a little proud! I TAUGHT HER HOW TO DO THAT!
