I gotta mission
A young woman came into the shop last week and was asking about the Coffee Group Ladies and whether it was a class, or a guild, or a club to be joined. No, it's none of the above just a bunch of people -- yes, mostly ladies who get together every Saturday morning to knit.
Anyway, I digress.....
This woman is a teacher in the Balitmore School system (Freedom Academy)teaching middle school classes. Some of her kiddies noticed that she knit and took an interest in what she was doing and asked to learn. So on her own she has been trying to get these kids needles and yarn and teach them something she's just learned to do herself last summer! What a great gal!
I'm donating 30 sets of needles and a bunch of yarn in hopes of her being able to keep these kids knitting and not trying to shot up or anyone (apparently this school isn't in the best part of Baltimore.) Wanna help? Contact me. knitgenia-at-AOL-dot-com
