Knitting Class!

We have such a fun time in knitting class!  Our students get so much done!

Sewing the last little bit on a hat.

4th grader hat knit in the round.

This student did such a great job on her hat.  She cast on with circular needles, knit for 6 1/2″, changed to double pointed needles, and then cast off and sewed the top closed.  Isn’t it such a cute hat?!!

Finished, embellished bracelet!

Another bracelet!

What is just so wonderful about these knitting classes is the friendships that are being made.  The students are all so supportive of each other.  They help each other with challenges and celebrate finishes together!

Aren’t those buttons fabulous?!!

Hair bow by a new knitter. Great job!

Bows were very popular!

This session of knitting is over but the next one starts right up next week!!
