Teaching went well on Saturday the 24th. Had 11 Students. I would say the majority of them caught on right away. Had a few who had conceptual difficulties. And two Lefties. Those who are left handed are the most difficult to teach, as went I look at what they are doing it all looks wrong. Luckily one Lefty got it right away and was sitting next to Toi (friend) who was a lost lefty. So I left the first lefty women to teach the second lefty women. "You always learn more when you teach". The class had two hours so I taught several stitches. 1) Standard Braid Stitch. 2) Ladder Braid Stitch, and explained Ladder Stitch and Double Ladder Stitch. The last two are done in both metal and Silk thread in Period.
I will repeat this class at Hrim Schola on 3/17. This will be only a one hour class, so only one stitch can be covered.
It is really great when you see the "light" go on and the person learning "get's it".
