My Project

The students started coming to crochet and Ms. Daniels provided the yarn and needles from her own collection. The club keeps growing weekly by word of mouth and she needs more yarn and needles and books to help teach the students more advanced stitches.

It is sixth, seventh and 8th graders all working together and helping each other to make a project.

We have seen water bottle covers, hats, ponchos and blankets. They are hoping to get this donation so they can make baby hats and blankets for sick children at Texas Children Hospital here in Houston, Texas. It is not just a social club but a club that wants to give back to the community.
