No frogs in these flower beds
I am interested in crochet projects, especially when the word explore comes up. For more than a decade I have been rethinking crochet. How we teach it and we learn it.
As part of my profession as a teacher I am well aware of how we need to adapt our teaching methods to be inline with the student we teach.
When we pick up a book on how to crochet, there is a long tradition about how this is done.
I discovered that it is possible to use a latch hook to crochet. It enables the learner to create experimental stitches which are easy to work with this hook. In my first book I called it “picking up stitches”.
At the time, until I began teaching it, I didn’t realise how significant this is! I was already a freeformer, so I knew how helpful the latch hook was when making a bullion stitch.
Over time I began to show beginners how to turn the”foundation chain legnth” into a flower, using a latch hook. Also how to hook in anywhere and create a Beastie brooch or a bracelet that young students could wear.
I have created a list of over 50 beginners projects , which can be kept as treasures. Some of which can be used in collage garden pictures.
