When I teach knitting it's really obvious that some people can "see" what they are doing and grasp it in one fell swoop, while others have to carefully learn it sequentially and take a long time to grasp the gestalt of it. Those are also the people who have more trouble "reading" their knitting (telling knits vs. purls, what to do next in a lace pattern based on how it looks and feels, etc.). <BR/><BR/>Different types of learners tend to be motivated differently, too. The ones like me like the process of knitting--doing it--while others knit to get something to wear or look at.<BR/><BR/>If I go back to school, this will be my thesis topic, btw. Adult learning of a physical process. If we ever get to where ONE of us has a stable job, I can work on this plan.Suna Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946484740596693009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124328661960643258.post-25833921236614992802007-08-31T13:38:00.000-05:002007-08-31T13:38:00.000-05:00And might it be that the reason I have to work so ...And might it be that the reason I have to work so hard at knitting is that I am NOT a visual/spatial learner? I've been knitting on and off for 10 years. I've just now learned to identify what, exactly, a knit and a perl are each supposed to look like. <BR/><BR/>I also have to turn maps to read them. Dweeb. :-)<BR/><BR/>LizLiz T-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847949576083447259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124328661960643258.post-85644517857942505062007-08-31T10:47:00.000-05:002007-08-31T10:47:00.000-05:00I think some of it might be that you are a visual/...I think some of it might be that you are a visual/spatial learner, too.
