They say, “When one door closes, another door opens,” and I know that is true. Then again my door was always half open and half closed. I could see and imagine a happy life, but the “unknown” was preventing me from opening the door completely.

I have been crocheting for years and when some friends asked if I could teach them I said, “Yes,” and told them the items they were going to need. I was confident  I could teach them, but I was beyond wrong. The only thing I was able to teach them was how to start it and hold the needle.

I  didn’t want to give up and neither did they, but after two more days they only were able to get one row. They gave up and no matter how much I tried to encourage them,  they didn’t want to try again. 

I started thinking maybe just knowing how to crochet wasn’t enough, so I put it aside and gave up on teaching. I am out of work for three weeks (due to a fall at work) and I thought it was a good idea to teach what I love and that’s crochet. 

There is two websites that offer crochet certificate and I am moving closer to – https://americancrochetassociation.blog/

I can’t wait until I get some more crochet hooks and then I will be signing up.  I want to learn more and maybe one day I can teach what I have learned…….
