Another hobby of mine. Thanks to a friend that "forced" me to make a hello kitty for her (I didn't know how to crochet then

) and got started.

你做得好好。係係 vancouver 學定係睇書架
如果睇書﹐可唔可以話我知係邊本書。
如果係道學﹐可以去邊道學呀﹖

I learned most of them some of them in HK. The only one book I used was to make the hello kitty which was borrowed from my friend who got as a gift from her friend in Taiwan. The little animal dolls are from a Japanese book I ordered from Japan.

the hello kitty is just too cute!!! Thanks for sharing!

You should really start selling your crafts... I'm sure there's a big market out there.

Thank you so much!

not that i haven't thought of it but it's difficult. most ppl don't want to pay that kind of money. eg: the hello kitty doll - yarn alone we got from store in yaohan costed almost $30! If I charge for labour, the doll would cost $70! The guy paid me $40 for labour and he bought the yarn himself. His gf really likes hello kitty. He said she spend so much money on the egg machines for the plastic molded low quality dolls so he'd rather pay me to make something genuine.

so honesly, do you think will most people pay that kind of money? I want to know too.

Thanks for the interest! I am surveying now to see what are the interests and level range.
btw, have you crochet before? what is your experience rating fr. 0-5?

Do you need knitting experience?

I guess my rating is ZER0...but I did make crochet when i was young.. around Grade 5 in HK..but I forgot how to make it already~~ I am an extreme FAST learner though

Versa, if you show the interest, nothing is impossible! No, you don't need any experience, if I can gather at least 4 ppl that are the same level, we can form a class.

I guess it would be divided into beginner (no experience)

to Intermediate level. No advance level class coz if you are advanced level, you don't need me to teach la!

I will need to spend more time with the beginner level students.

cost is undecided yet. I will be very reasonable and affordable of course. I will have to decide on time and stuff first. You can sign up now and after I plan out the time/cost/dates/etc, you can still change your mind. (Serious crafters only pls)

So most importantly, for me to plan, I need to know # of people for Beginner and Intermediate. Oh, I can take 4 students max. each class.

i've also seen ur cakes... zuesel ur so skillful!

if you open a class, pls count me in. i love doing crafts but i've never done crochet before, just some knitting. so i'm a beginner.

作者: myversa 時間: 2009-2-16 20:29

I have not even touched needle before....

作者: cmmm 時間: 2009-2-17 16:49

I am interested, but I also have not touched any needle/yarn before...
If you're holding a class, I'd love to join. I'm sure it'll be lots of fun~

i'm interested too! i'm a beginner

can i join as well? the cactus ones are lovely!

作者: zuesel 時間: 2009-2-18 14:36

hmmmm...how should we do this? pick which cactus you like and learn just one or all 5 styles?
what would you guys prefer?

seems i will have to host more than one class. I don't want too many students at once so I can devote more time individually. Most likly the classes will be conducted on Sunday afternoons.

Any thoughts?

作者: siuyudim 時間: 2009-2-18 15:20 標題: 回復 28# 的帖子

what time and where will your classes be on Sunday? and how much will it cost? i work Sundays, so if this class will take place soon i will need to change my work schedule for next month. thanks..umm, don't we need a shopping list first? to gather all the materials we need?

作者: myversa 時間: 2009-2-18 15:24

maybe you should tell us what to do to prepare before going to your class so we will not waste time there.

for example, trying to pick up a needle and put the thread into a needle hole?

作者: zuesel 時間: 2009-2-18 16:37

I will go buy all the materials. I have to order them elsewhere. Not available in Canada. And no worries, they are already on their way!

The first classes will be for beginners. So I will show you how to do EVERYTHING!

Let me go home tonight to calculate the cost and will let you guys know tmr.

I think of sundays coz I am the most free then and i'd assume most ppl are too. If more ppl can agreed on another day or time, we can work something out.

作者: 小叻 時間: 2009-2-18 16:45

Sunday works absolutely fine for me~ I dun need to work during weekends~

Please let me know =D Thanks

Looking at your estimate of costs I think the price is quite steep, but I am sure there're people out there who would want custom made (means willing to spend money) like your friend.

Teaching classes is a good idea, I am sure many people want to learn from you, including me (if I had the spare time, since I know it takes a lot of time and effort).

Oops I used too many I'm sure, but I'm sure my opinions are genuine!

Yes! Thanks for the genuine opinion! Pls keep them coming!

Just to give you an update. I am currently working on drawing patterns.

I do have a question for those of you who are interested. Do you like the little pots that the cactus sit in in my photos or do you prefer to use something of your own?

Do you mean making the pots as well? No, I don't make the pots. I buy them fr. HK. I am just wondering if learners like the pots which I will have to buy /find some more or if they would like to buy their own pots from other sources ie: michaels.

I am in the process of planning for cactus making (this is the most basic) suitable to learn for beginners.

if enough interest to learn other things, I will plan for them after.

Hi all!

Some people emailed me about offering other patterns. I am doing some research on more patters such as cakes and dolls for beginner and advanced level. Please bare with me. I want to spend more time to organize and make patterns so students can choose what they want to learn at the level they are comfortable with.

Again, thanks for your patience.
