Can you believe a new knitter who is a rock climber figured out how to knit herself a chalk bag?! Another is working on a shawl using directions from the back of a yarn sleeve! Another is making a scarf with self-striping yarn. And one fellow is making a red hat “like Holden Caulfield’s.” All with donated supplies!! Many made fingerless mitts using the pattern I wrote for them. It turned out to be a good “second” project (after making a scarf) because they learned basic skills like casting on and off, increasing, ribbing, knitting, purling, and how to make a gusset. Once they had mastered these skills, they were able to knit anything, even CREATE A CHALK BAG without a pattern! Grateful for the donated copies and downloads of MDK’s @how.to.knit (their textbook) and all the folks who left boxes of donated yarn, needles and knitting books at my front door. I am grateful and BEAMING! BTW, we found the best time for class to meet was during lunch break, in case you are thinking of starting a knitting club. We’ll be back next fall! Link to mitt pattern is in my profile. Parting words to each other: “Let’s make matching hats this summer!” Of course, there is a pattern on the blog… just sayin’. #itsawrap #highschoolknittingclub #awardwinningchocolatechipcookiesforthewin

I would like to live here in my rest life. Because I am dreaming that love to do planting ,watering and harvesting in my dream since my childhood. But now I’m 50 and I don’t have any land to grow plants which I love yet. So I’m going to give up my dream in the world. All of you in here to live are very very lucky in your life and your lives are to be so so satisfy. I really envy you. Thank for a few minutes to look here for me. I’m Virgo from Myanmar.
