Paying it forward

My Fellow art student wanted to learn how to crochet 

Her grandmother had taught her to do granny squares, but she hadn’t really done much more since 

Since someone had spent time teaching me I happily told her I’d teach her 

So she came over with her supplies and we began 

We decided to just make the pattern on the inside of the label that goes round the ball. It was a cute bag

I showed her how to read the pattern. 

How the same stitch gets called different because of uk and USA terminology 

And away she went 

I began to crochet with her to show how to do the stitches and once she left I went back to my knitting project 

Today I finished the bag 

I kept the second yarn label to continue to follow the pattern. 

It’s a cute bag, perfect to carry yarn in 

I’m very sure it will get used frequently 

Now the knowledge has been passed forward I’m sure one day she will teach someone and the craft will live on
