News: Recess offers knitters a place for extra help
posted: October 14, 2008

Westwood's third-grade knitting clique, 65-members strong, are meeting in the most unusual places. 

The Westwood character cam caught them at recess this week getting individual lessons from club sponsor, Counselor Barbara Gruener, along with community volunteers Mary Warwick, Kathy Tucker, and Laura Danielson. 

Knit 1Many of the knitters are well into their practice project, a bookmark for them to give away to a friend or keep as a sample of their very first knitting.  Several have already finished their bookmarks, according to Gruener.

A few are patiently waiting for their very own private lesson so that the knit stitch will start to click for them. 

Wherever they are in the process, these novice needleworkers are awfully excited about their new craft. 

Their next project will be making baby hats to donate to Save the Children's Caps to the Capital Campaign. Knit 4

Visit www.savethechildren.org/ on or after Wednesday, October 15th to see their new home page, complete with a whole display of photos and video clips showing celebrity supporters who are joining us by knitting caps to Knit One, Save One.
