I am a brand new knitter! It is something that I’ve always wanted to learn, and I finally got around to it this summer. I’m a teacher, and a group of us decided to get together and learn from another teacher we work with who is an amazing knitter. I’ve also used this site quite a bit, and it has been very helpful!!!
I have two “WIP’s” (both scarves, of course), and I’m looking forward to branching out to new projects too.
:waving: Hello! Welcome to KH!
sounds like you teachers are having a wonderful time during your summer school knitting class You will find it’s the best class that you’ve ever taken
And if you get really addicted, you will start trying to meet learning objectives in the classroom with knitting!
If there are 40 stitches per row and Mrs. Irish knitter can knit five rows in a minute, how many stitches in an hour? Determining pattern repeats, research reports on wool (LA), burn rates of various fibers (science), importance of knitting in the American culture (SS). Oh the possibilities are endless!
Or maybe you decide to teach in a Montessori school since knitting is in the curriculum!
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself on here alot. I am addicted to this website. Everyone is so helpful and I have learned a lot since I came here.
