Making Knitting Needles to Knit for Project Linus

The 8th grade class is about to embark upon a mission. A Knitting Mission to knit at least 25 stadium-sized blankets for Project Linus! In order to do so, we need materials like knitting needles and yarn. Instead of having families fork out money for knitting needles we decided to have kids make them out of dowels in class. A video for how to do this is linked here. Kids had a lot of fun creating and designing their needles. It was a lot like wood shop in the Art Room!
