Dear Portland,
My class went awesome today! I had an 8 year old girl who had never knit before and a ten year old girl that I taught a few weeks ago with the christian school field trip. They were both really sweet and VERY excited. My plan was to cast on for them and then get them started with the basic knit stitch. They were so interested in casting on that they both learned how to do it and were knitting on there own with 3 or 4 rows each by the end of class. Wow am I impressed. I didn't think they were going to catch on so quickly! So their first project is a washcloth and then I'm going to introduce purling and hopefully get them going on a ribbing pattern for a scarf! It's fun and easy and I get paid? No way, this is awesome.
Tomorrow hopefully I will get my laundry done and bake cookies.
Wednesday I have another class with one 12 year old girl.
7 weeks until I come home, 11 classes stronger.

- The Learning Curve of an Adult Child is singularly me. I suppose it's about the trials and tribulations involved in what "they" call being a grown-up. But maybe it's just about things that happen and things I think about... (Also, that is my computer generated pirate name) My other blog, [hap]hazard, is my best friend and I. We enjoy adventuring.
