Crochet Club Part 2

Well, 2 min in to our club yesterday a wet day timetable was called. So we had to pack it up. My poor girls were shattered.  On a bright note, I have 4 girls in my Tuesday group now. I'll have to make it up to them next week with an extra day.
On another note,  Mew is nearly done! Just have to make his tail now and sew him together. I can't wait to see him in one piece!!!
Off to get my little munchkin ready for school now so bye!

My Crochet Club

At my daughter's school, I run a crochet club 2 lunchtimes a week. At first I was overwhelmed with the amount of kids wanting to learn. 23 boys and girls turned up on the first day. Now, after 4 weeks, my Monday group is down to 3 boys.  Today I'll find out how many girls I'll have.
It might sound a bit mean, but I'm SO glad that so many kids dropped out. I love teaching them, but I really found it hard with the larger groups. The boys have mastered the chain stitch (finally) and we are starting the single crochet stitch.
I was so surprised when I discovered my most devoted students were the boys. They turned up for week 2 telling me how they had dragged their mums down to Big W to pick a hook and wool to practice with at home. I also had a younger boy yesterday who joined in and nailed in one session, what I had been teaching the others for a month.
I'm excited about this group I'm running. I just hope the girls turn out to be as committed as the boys are. Wish me luck, my school day starts now!
