moving up...to the head of the class

My family has been involved in a homeschool co-op and music/arts/languages/drama conservatory for the past few years.  My mother is now on the board, actually.  Well, it seems that i will probably be teaching two knitting classes this fall, a beginning and an intermediate.  I've showed my siblings how to knit, helped people out when they were having trouble, but i've never taught someone from start to finish how to knit.  It's kind of exciting and terrifying at the same time.  I'm already starting to dream of what projects we will work on, but at the same time i'm not sure how many we'll need.  In the past they've had a sort of knitting circle class with no real formal direction.  I think i am going to aim for two projects per student but if need be can come up with additional projects.  So far...scarves with bulky yarn are the plan.  I'm thinking that a hat and/or socks will be in the works for the intermediate class.  Two-needle mittens may be the way to go for the beginning class.  Anyways, will try to provide more info as it becomes available!
