Last crochet class

This was my course plan:
Class 1: beginning knot, chain, single crochet
Class 2: slip stitch, crocheting in rounds, increase
Class 3: crocheting in rounds 2, rounds with finger-wrapping beginning, doubles, decrease, pattern reading

I don't know how obvious it looks to you, but I had way to much to teach in my last class. I was hoping that a lot of the things we had covered in the first two classes would come together in the last class and it all would make sense, but well, in the end, the class felt rather rushed. Somehow, it felt important to me to cover all that topics so that my students would be able to go on their own and follow patterns and make what they wish, but maybe it would have been better if I covered less topic and focused on really understanding these techniques. Doubles and pattern reading might have been unnecessary.

I asked my students to send me a picture when they have completed a project themselves, so I am going to wait and see.

Note to self: Flexibility is important in teaching.
