\"\"<\/a>It is a bit satisfying, a bit unnerving, and a bit of second guessing getting ready to teach multiple classes at a singular event. This last month I have been prepping for 4 classes that I am teaching at the Crochet Guild of America annual Chainlink conference and it is almost time to put all that planning to the test.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have been updating notes, writing handouts, doing current research and putting together samples and such. So this month I have been making yarn with a drop spindle and dyeing all kinds of yarn in a variety of ways. \u00a0I have been studying patterns and playing with beads. I have been mentally teaching my classes for hours, working on finer points \"\"<\/a>and ensuring that I have everything in place.<\/p>\n

In addition I have been putting together kits for materials for my class. Personally I do not enjoy taking classes that have lengthy material list, especially when it is not completely familiar with the things on the list. So as a teacher I have a small material fee, but I put together kits of the items needed. This might take up some room while traveling yet it is so worth it to have my students be successful with new techniques.<\/p>\n

Now as I box everything up and start putting things together for my 10 hour drive I go over and over all possible items I might be forgetting. Life never fails I am sure I will remember something I need several hours from home, so I will be finding a replacement or improvising in class. That is what keeps it entertaining after all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I really enjoy teaching, and how much I learn while giving instructions to others (I continue to take classes, check out why here<\/a>). I am looking forward to the adventure that this week has in store\u2026I will share my progress\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
