Very quickly

Bother – I meant to do this over the weekend, but I forgot.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I may be able to set up knitting as an “enrichment activity” at college – i.e. get a group of students (16-18) together to knit about once a week. To have my proposal considered, I need a half-page of A4 concocted to go in the brochure that will go out to all students.

HELP!!!

I’ve had a few ideas (and sorry, don’t have time right now to list them), but if anyone has any experience/ideas, I’d be incredibly grateful. In fact, since this is what seems to get people going, let’s say it’s a competition – there may be yarn involved…

Oh, and I need to get this done by Wednesday, so please help soon! (And please spread the word.)

Thank you all so much.

why not look at (the many) posts at http://www.whipup.net as they seem to have some great ways with words and links too…or even articles from http://www.yarnmagazine.com.au

Those kids will be a lot different from the 7-year-olds I knit with… one hopes! It’s good for fine motor skills and it’s a traditional craft and it’s funky and modern and arty… and you could get all mathy with gauge and size and how you can knit an octagon or a square or a moebius strip…
