My Project

The knitting needles and colorful yarn selected for this grant would be used for an introductory class for students to learn a new hobby, knitting. During this introduction to knitting after-school program, students will learn how to cast on, knit & purl, and cast off. The intention is for all students to complete a scarf by the conclusion of the class.

My hope is that my students will develop a new hobby and life skill, that will help to curb some of those all consuming social media/gaming hours.

Additionally, I would like to teach them a skill that may have a therapeutic and calming effect when feeling overwhelmed or stressed.

The students at my school are extremely artistic and crafty. I envision us patiently knitting while chatting and building new friendships.
