~Requirements: Healthy fine motor skills. POSITIVE and DETERMINED ambitious ATTITUDE ready to learn and have a little grit and PATIENCE with yourself to get over the begining bumps and Victoriously CONQUER the beginning trial and error. must be willing to make lots of VALUABLE MISTAKES that significantly FUEL YOUR GROWTH! Getting past the very beginning coordination and mental multitasking is the hardest part...past that the rewards are endlessly satisfying! BE KIND, empathetic and encouraging to others, no competitive/showoff as this is highly discouraging and emotional to others who are Truly struggling. Instead be an INSPIRATION to the possibilities of what they can achieve! Everyone learns differently and I am adamant about maintaining a SAFE SPACE to do that I meet every student right where theyre at and cater my one on one help to each individuals Neurological and Emotional needs and their I pay attention to your Learning Language. Your part is to Communicate to me your comprehension of what I directed and feel comfortable expressing if you didn't understand.
NOTE:If you are a very beginners and know just the basics you are still welcome and I can help you with with aids that u didn't learn first time around and help advance you to your next stitch or in whatever specific things you are working towards to set you up for success in your next project goal but If class is really full/large it is very time consuming teaching first timers so if you are established with beginner stitches and don't still need help or questions then I suggest taking my intermediate/advanced class but do a class request for what your specifically looking for example " working in the round" (for amigurumi stuffed animals) or "granny square " for blankets or specific technique/style like "Tunisian crochet" which I will teach this summer. call me with questions or phone consultations to find out if this class will meet your needs. If u need help with yarn/hook questions
