I apparently have too much time on my hands this morning: I am lurking and peeking in the "windows" of other bloggers. I will share...
Next fall I will need to start early in teaching students in my classroom to knit. In teaching them empathy for others and giving to others, I want them to contri
bute to the Red Scarf Project and/or the Dulaan Project. I found information on the Red Scarf Project 2008 that has changed my timing for this series of lesson plans from late fall/early winter to early fall. Yikes! There's also some fantastic advise on quality, not quantity that applies to not just these two projects but to all "community" projects.

Oh wonderful, I think it's a great project to do!!
I think charity knitting is always a wonderful thing.
I also truly believe in never giving something that I'd never wear myself- whether it's itchy wool or fun fur.
That said, if you need wool or other yarns, let me know. I have plenty of "one or half skeiners" around.
Great idea! Those are two great projects too.

What a great teaching tool...I'm sure the kids will enjoy it too. Oh (and from your previous post), I've heard that cat fur makes for excellent spinning!!
What a great idea!!
I stopped by for the KVV location bingo, and LMAO when I read your profile - my duaghter says the same thing about me! My Mom always says "You never knew a stranger." I talk to everyone, lol. So glad to meet someone else who does, too! After all, a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet :)
Hi, I am a few days behind on the KVV bingo, but trying to catch up.
It's funny how our kids think. My 9yo ds always asks, "do you know them?"
Thanks for the lovely comment. Yes, I did make the blanket that is the banner for my blog. I hope you are enjoying your summer vacation - as a fellow educator, I know that I am!!!
