Intro - let's try this again
Sorry, something went wrong
Anyway, as I was saying, I have been reading this newsgroup for a while. I learned how to knit at school in Germany, when I was 8 years old, and have knitted ever since. Just in the past year, I have actually thought about making some money with my skill, and have approached my kids school, to start a Knitting Club. That is going so well, that I talked to someone at the local college to offer a knitting course for adults. And they liked the idea, AND they will PAY me for it!!! Imagine that. I am still in shock. I was thinking of a hat and a keyhole scarf as a fist project (with Boa yarn), but now decided to teach the stitches on different yarn first. I am trying to think of a catchy name for it all. At the Knitting Club, we are winding down, and our last project is going to be "Kool-Aid" Dyed Wool, and the kids will knit a hat and scarf with it. Personally, I am working on a kazillion things, but my "Dancing Vines" sweater is almost finished. That's it, and I really like this newsgroup and all the interesting ideas and links I got from here. Michaela ( in Canada) NOW I hit the send button! -- "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." |

Hi Michaela,
Welcome to this great group. What a wonderful thing you are doing, teaching knitting. Don't forget there are also senior citizens that may like to learn to knit also. Keep us posted on all your projects. Hugs, Nora |

Great, they all come to your course because they want to learn. You will love it. Where in Canada do you live I was teaching, a new Guild member, how to spin yesterday. I find it very refreshing to do, because a student will force you to look at the technieque you have done for years, with new eyes.

Michaela
Welcome to the newsgroup we are a very friendly bunch. It's wonderful that you are getting paid to teach knitting at a college. This is something that I would love to do and have thought about seeing if the community centre near me would offer the course. Which part of Canada are you in?
