Hello Linda,
This year we introduced knitting to the boys and girls in my class also. I personally think it is a lovely skill to have as I don’t know how to do it myself but the grandparents from the area came in every Friday to teach all my students .It was such a lovely community effort by all. At the start the boys were not too impressed but by the end of it I was so impressed with what they produced. Some of them even brought the knitting to do at home in the evening.
