Nearly all of them have created and recorded many hours of their own music, usually playing all the instruments. Some of these kids are frighteningly single-minded-there's an 18-year-old who's been messing around with recording software since he was 9 and claims to be competent on drums, bass, guitar, and keyboards. A half dozen or so are like me-in our 30s or older, with full-time careers outside the music industry, but with a longtime interest in recording and a lot of experience writing and playing music.īut most are full-time students, or between college and graduate school, and are expecting to make a career in the music industry. There are about 40 students in the class.

Pick up the working yarn with your fingers and pull a new loop through both previous loops. Stretch both loops across your fingers to make them the same size. Pull a loop of the working yarn through the stitch and place it on your fingers. Start by holding the working loop on your hand, then reach under the next crochet stitch and grab the working yarn with your fingers. How to do double crochet by handĪ double crochet stitch made with your hands is done in exactly the same way as it is with a hook, but it can be a bit tricky putting this into practice. With each round, move the marker to the first stitch in the next round. Place a marker in the first stitch in each round using a contrasting piece of scrap yarn. They are crocheted in the round in a continuous spiral (where you do not join at the end of each round), working from the bottom upwards. The main body of the apple and pear are made with hand crochet, working three strands of yarn held together. Hand crochet is as simple as it sounds – you use your hand instead of a crochet hook!
