Second and third day of the knitting class.

Greetings,

We continued our knitting workshop and Adithi and Sanjana have now learnt how to purl in the second class. Sanjana learnt the purl stitch pretty fast, but Adithi was slightly off the track in our second day of our workshop.

Today, was our third class, and Adithi had practiced it well. Although, she is a bit confused with the purl stitch, she is grasping it pretty fast and she has already started making pencil doll from Dolly times. She knitted 8 rows of stocking stitch, each row consisting of 12 stitches.

 On the other hand, Sanjana was least interested in the class today. It is quite difficult and challenging to teach small children, since, we can't predict their mood and they are quite caprice.

Overall, I enjoyed teaching these kids how to knit!

Until, next time,

Revs!

First day of the knitting class.

Greetings!

I got an opportunity to teach knitting to small children! I will teach some kids how to knit all the Sunday's of this month. We just finished our first knitting class here at Madagascar Kids (a Montessori). We only had two kids for our first class. Adithi (10 years) and Sanjana (8 years). It was quite challenging and fun to teach these small children. Thanks, to my cousin who organized this session. 

Adithi and Sanjana learnt how to cast on pretty easily. Here is the picture I took after they finished casting on.

Teaching how to knit, became even more challenging. Adithi, learnt how to knit, fairly quickly but it was slightly complicated for the 8 year old Sanajana. But, she managed to knit a row.

Adithi is all smiling in the below picture when she finished here first row

Sanjana is happy too, but quite exhausted after she managed to knit a few stitches.

Over all, it was a great experience to teach these kids. I told them to practice at home and knit a few rows. My fingers are crossed. Hope they have practiced at home. In my next class I will be teaching them how to purl. 

More update on this after my next class.

Until then,

Happy crafting!

Revs!
