The Elmcrest Kids-

My sister Maria, teaches art at Elmcrest school. She had some yarn she found somewhere at the school and started to teach one of her smaller classes to knit. I told her that I would give the best project a prize. Well, I was so impressed. Mind you these were both boys and girls, and they all did a great job. Some had more difficulty than others, but each finished a project-
So each now has won a prize- the girl with a scarf which she managed to finally control her stitch count got a ball of Filatura Superior Cashmere/silk- The boys with the perfect wrist band in two colors got 2 balls of an alpaca/silk/georgette, the boy who managed the square face cloth got Berroco Peruvia Quick for a hat and the other girl got the new Berroco bulky Campus for a hat as well. Apparently they were not so impressed to begin with, but they are very enthusiastic now that they completed a project. And Maria has taught them a wonderful life skill. Who knows, there could be a designer among them.
