[Nfb-krafters-korner] just figuring out crochet edgings on my own

[Blindhands at aol.com]

This class was meant for folks that knew a little about crocheting.[Like  
single crochet] and it was for adding crochet edgings to a knitted  project.  
 
Folks had asked to have this class that knew how to knit, but wanted to be  
able to add some crochet edgings.
 
We wanted folks to have knitted squares so we could teach how to add a  
crochet edging.
 
We taught a single crochet edging and how to go around corners.  Most  
students got around at least 2 sides or completely around the block and then we  
taught a step by step how to do a double crochet stitch and then they 
worked a  couple of shells.
 
We have a better idea of the ability of the group and have asked them to  
single crochet around at least 1 more of the 4 blocks for the next class.   
We plan on reviewing what was taught last week and going over the second 
edging  a little more to start this upcoming week's class.  
 
I do think we need 1 more week  added to this class to cover  things.  So 
if you are interested please do sign up and we will get you  caught up.

Didn't  this class require knitting some sort of Swatch in order to crochet 
edges? Or  am I confused?
