Teaching Knitting

Cheryl snapped a photo of me showing Jade how to work a drop stitch pattern, and was so excited that the kids at recess got to see us making something with our hands. I did have to tell her and one of my high school students that it was ironic that there weren't enough students at the high school to have a regular class to teach that period, but here I was teaching knitting!

Jade started a scarf shown in Stitch and Bitch Nation, using Trendsetter Aquarius in pinks and purples. The drop stitch will show off the ribbon yarn very well. After trying it out and beginning to learn the stitch, she decided to use a fuchia boucle for the two plain knitted rows in the four-row pattern to set off the ribbon yarn and give a little more substance to the scarf. I will get a picture of her finished product.
