Knitting Life Lessons at Little Run Elementary School
Students at Little Run Elementary enjoy learning how to knit so much that it has become the thing to do at their school. Last year, they had so much fun that they came up with the idea to do a group project: knit a quilt-type blanket to donate to a homeless shelter. To involve as many students as possible, they invited all students in grades 3-6 to participate, so that everyone could knit a square that would be sewn together to make the blanket. The blanket was donated to the Katherine Hanley Shelter and delivered by the knitters themselves.
Knitting took off at Little Run after snowmageddon in 2010, when students missed two weeks of school because of two back-to-back snowstorms. When they returned to school, they were talking with school counselor Maurie Negrin about how they filled the time. Negrin said she had done a lot of knitting. One third grade boy and his friend expressed an interest in learning how to knit, and knitting lessons were born.
