Wishing everyone a holiday season that is lovely and smooth. We’re relaxing and enjoying our family time together.
These little needle felted snowmen put a smile on our faces as Hana and I made them for Christmas gifts this year.

Spool Knitting
This term I’m teaching three noon-hour classes at a local elementary school.
Last week in our “Yarn Play” class we made knitting spools out of toilet paper tubes and popsicle sticks.
Felting in the Classroom
I went into Hana’s class one afternoon in the last week of school to show the kids how to felt wool. We had fun making little felted balls. I was really pleased with how interested and eager they were.

The little kidlets in Hana’s class are really enjoying the spool knitting. They have been eager to have a knitting bee of their own to take home, so I took orders.
Busy Busy Bees
We started off with 13 knitting spools for Hana’s class and yesterday I had to go back to the store for more. The project is a hit with the kids.
Today when I arrived in the classroom to knit with them, they all shouted out my name and cheered.
The Knitting Bee
Hana’s teacher has asked me to teach her class how to knit. Since the children are 6 and 7 year olds, I decided to teach them spool knitting. I found these cute “knitting bees” at Dressew for a great price along with some very inexpensive yarn.
