We had our very first hat finished in 5th grade 4 needle knitting...boy, that was quick!
Also, we (I) decided to make slippers out of felted wool sweaters with the 7th grade, the wet felting thing got a little out of hand, and I have so many students---I am so glad we did a little mini wet felting project to see how it went. My challenge is not having a handwork room, and having to tote everything to each class... Anyhoo, that class is having some self control issues that everyone is working on...maybe we will wet felt next May after some of the behaviour improves, which it will---yup, 7th grade...

7th grade can be so squirrelly...We went through 3 pounds of batting and 1/2 a pound of colored batting ....alllllll gone! due to 7th graders not listening and doing their felting wrong....very frustrating. but they sewed the sweater slippers in 5th grade....so I was committed to felting with them. keep posting pics...love seeing the progress
