Balance in parenting and knitting – Fiber arts news
The bounds of knitting – well – sometimes it seems that there are few. The New York Times has a wonderful piece up by a pediatrician Perri Klass, who has made some wonderful connections between the knitting community (and Ravelry) and parenting, and how we could all learn some thing from the knitting community! Bravo we say!
It’s not just knitting either – we’re just plain jealous of these 6th grade students in Manitoba. Carding, spinning, knitting, making something to of their own from start to finish – these students are learning about historical production, working with community members, connecting “making” to family traditions, and so much more. Mrs. Elaine Owen, what a cool teacher! The boundaries of fiber arts really do seem boundless – and we count ourselves lucky each day to be a part of it!
