On a subject of my choice for a course I am doing. I was thinking of doing Crochet as my topic.

Apart from being sick/hyperventilating about it all... I thought I could do a small booklet of basic stitches/foundation chain as one of my visual aids, a few samples of work done and maybe something small for each of them?

What would be quick/easy/effective to make?

How big is the audience? Could you get them doing for themselves (works if about 5 people, tricky with more!)

Don't give one 10 minute speech, give three 3 minute speeches about related topics with a 1 minute introduction. So, introduce - foundation chains - granny squares - amigurumi - thank you very much you've been a wonderful audience.

Can you work in a youtube vid about the basics? Much easier than craning to watch you!

Thanks Pidj!

I was planning on history, popularity/foundation, other stitches/ granny/amigurumi/hooks/wool in some sort of order.

The other students are taking gifts in the form of cakes etc. I was hoping to do the same?

I thought a booklet with all of the info in would be good too? Hopefully convert some more people!

You can probably print something from a blog, or at leadt get some nice clear photos.

Raid your local charity shops for hooks - they're kept under the counter - and make up some 5g bundles of cheap wool. One hook and one twist per peeson. Much better for the waist line than cake
