I went yesterday to do the paperwork and schedule and I am officially an instructor with Colorado Free University. I will be teaching crochet, a class in April and then June and July as well. Very excited. The lady in charge of everything told me I will basically make gas money, I live a mile from the location so I can buy a Starbucks.

CFU has classes in everything, arts, spanish, computers, etc. They have been around a long time, I have taken a few classes there myself. And teaching, any kind of teaching that doesn't involve standardized tests at least, is my mental health boost.

Glad to hear...I take community/adult ed classes all the time and it always seems like the instructors enjoy what they do.

Cool! I like crocheting but don't really have time for it.

Those courses are a treasured opportunity both to teach and enjoy. It will add to your resume as well

That's a door opening! Wonderful.

Did you know Betty Hechtman wrote a series of 12 mysteries that involve crocheting? The protagonist is Molly Pink, who works for a library... and solves murder cases on her own time. I have not read any of these mysteries, but I think I might enjoy an audiobook, if ever that comes out. Some titles that caught my eye:
Dead Men Don't Crochet
A Stitch in Crime
Behind the Seams
If Hooks Could Kill
For Better or Worsted

I looked up Betty Hechtman and not only do the books have a recipe, but also a crochet pattern, how brilliant. Makes me think my blog idea of mindfulness/buddhist topics with crochet may be a real idea.

I could not say anything about the mindfulness of the self-described "geek" demonstrating this... I think somebody sells a wide brimmed women's floppy straw hat with a "lotus blossom" attached.
