So Olivia had this idea to start a 'knitting club' so I went with it. Our district doesn't allow 'clubs' so we started an after school enrichment class with 1st-3rd graders at her school. I was planning to limit it to about 15 students who were 'recommended' by their teachers. And it snowballed from there. We ended up having about 30 students (a couple ended up dropping out) in 3 different classes rooms and we had more students on the waiting list. Thankfully 2 other parents volunteered to lead the other classes with some help of some other parents. I am so proud of all the kids, after about 2 months they finished 139 hats (using the Knifty Knitter looms) for babies and children to be donated to the local public hospital.
