Crochet

So I have this really bad habit, or character flaw about myself. For some reason I like to tell people that I know how to do things and I will teach them with only slightly knowing how to do it, and knowing in the back of my mind that really I know someone else who really knows how to do it and that I will rush to them to learn how and then teaching the other people whom I told in the beginning that I knew how. It is a bad habit but it kind of forces me to learn things.

Like last year when I was a sub for a whole month in a home ec class, I taught the kids how to crochet. I told them I was going to teach them to crochet but knowing in the back of my mind that I would be at my Mom's house the whole weekend perfecting my skills. But I did it, last year I taught over 100 kids how to crochet a hot pad and they learned and I learned more. But that is about all I had ever made was a hot pad.

So a couple of weeks ago at a young women planning meeting the girls expressed interest in learning how to crochet a hat and of course with my character flaw
I said, "I know how to crochet a hat"
I will teach you.

I had never crocheted a hat before, but I knew that I could learn.
So I rushed to You Tube
Where I learned there is a lot of people who make videos of themselves teaching others how to do things.

And I learned how to make a hat and not only a hat but a very cute hat
that I gave to my niece Sadie over Christmas.

So I did it again....but now I am prepared to teach the YW how to
crochet a hat
this Wednesday

I really need to work on that Character Flaw.
But it does motivate me!

Except with cooking...I have told people that I can make things
and instead of having Jeremy teach me to do it
I just make him.
shhh don't tell.
