I don't know how we got these blankets woven so quickly! Maybe the energy of it being the final week before Thanksgiving Vacation? Maybe the minimum-day schedule? I don't know what it was but Room I-5 was hummin' like a factory during the two-40 minute periods that students wove together over 150 5 foot knitted strips into blankets. We even had a crew of "Cleaners" who would inspect blankets for quality! they would trim loose threads, undo and re-knit uneven strips so that they were the accurate length, and re-wove strips together if there were significant holes.
Whatever it was that lit a spark under these guy worked and I am VERY proud of them all!
