Fiber Club

Hello:
I have started a club for knitting and crochet at the middle school where I am an instructional aide.  The club meets on Monday afternoons and we have about 8 members.  Not all the members can come every week, as Rocketry club meets every other Monday, and some are in that club, too.  Stupid rockets!  We have quite a few members who are experienced at either knitting or crochet and some who know both.  We don't have Ravelry accounts, though I hope they will be able to do this soon, as Ravelry is a MUST for serious fiber people, so I can't name my members, but I wanted to show you what people were working on this week.

This first photo is of a crocheted granny square.  This member is a knitter who is learning to crochet.  She has mastered the chain, and now the double crochet stitch.  After finishing her square, she decided to do a knit project next, so this week she cast on a hat for her baby sister.

One of the experienced crocheters decided to try working with crochet thread, and see if she can make some lace.

This is a GINORMOUS garterstitch scarf.  I have no idea if this knitter will actually make it long enough to be a real scarf or if she will get tired and start a new project.  But, Go For It!

This last project is another large garter stitch scarf, not quite as ginormous as the one above, but pretty wide.  I need to teach these kids the purl stitch so they can try ribbing.  But right now, they all seem so happy just getting together to work on their projects.

Peace,
