  Love the video and I can't wait to for how-to's! May I be the first to request a sock how-to? I recently caught an episode of Knit & Crochet Now where you were demonstrating crochet socks! I bought some sock yarn and a book but am so lost! The heel is being a heel!

  Well, that was pretty cool. So nice to "see" you, Drew. Thanks for sharing Christine's book as well as news of your own. September's almost here and soon you can breathe a sigh of relief!

  I really like the vlog Drew. Can't wait to see what else you have in the works for the future. Question...any tips on teaching a 7 yr old how to crochet? Should I just teach the chain stitch? Thxs and wishing you continued success.

     Thanks for the kudos!
     
     
     I'm very insistent that absolute beginners begin with a project their first time out - it instills so much confidence and avoids the level of frustration that could cause the learner to quite altogether. We love results!!
     
     
     I suggest that you get some nice, smooth, worsted weight yarn and start a "coaster" by working several rows of 10 sc across, then on the next row do the first 2 sc, THEN give the coaster to the learner and guide him/her through the steps of making sc.  Let them practice on that piece and when there are 10 rows finished they will have a coaster.  
     
     
     Now here's the most important part. Use the coaster! It reinforces that the learner just created something useful on his/her very first try. 
     
     
     Anywho, good luck and I hope you both have much success!  I learned when i was 5 and so many of my childhood memories include crocheting gifts, crocheting with family members, etc.
