Late Fall and Early winter lend perfect opportunity to teach knitting. Kids are cold and motivated to knit something warm! 8th graders have been knitting for me for 5 years now. Every year we have 100% success with kids knitting in the hallways, knitting during SSR and knitting after their done with other work. They come in to class, take out their needles and gossip like old ladies.
We Knit 24" in class and the last foot is to be knitted over break. When they return they turn in completed scarves that are 3' long with tassels.
