My Project

I am a middle school science teacher (a crochet nut) at a Title I campus. We have about 1200 students from all walks of life. I am the club sponsor for the fiber arts club. Our first project will be Friendship bracelets and then we will be moving on to crochet and knitting, and all the fun yarn arts!

My students need access to embroidery floss, yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks, and miscellaneous other fiber arts materials.

These projects are going to be completed during our after-school club. We have about 30 students who are excited to explore the fiber arts and learn a new skill.
