crochet


Last official day of crochet. We finished two granny squares and whip stitched them together to make a little bag with a single crochet handle. The bags could be lined if we had time and the inclination, but most of the class was just pleased to have finished a crochet project after three weeks of hard work.

Art Club with all their granny squares. We learned how to tie off all the little strings and join squares to make a finished bag.


Sylvia is modeling her crochet hat. Over the past week she has made three hats. She was selling the hats at art club for five dollars a pop, and several of the art club students have future hats on order. Sylvia plans on having an art booth at the neighborhood summer festival in August. I wonder how many hats she can crochet by then? Perhaps some granny square bags as well?

Henry and Isak were also very pleased with themselves. Neither of them have ordered a hat from Sylvia. They want to make their own.


Isaiah and Gillian model bright crochet hats made by Elizabeth (one of our crochet teachers). They both learned how to make single crochet hats in class today, and took thread and hooks home for summer fun.

What an absolutely wonderful idea. I have taught many children to crochet, but have never taken pictures of them with their projects. Good job!
