Last Friday I finished teaching the group of children how to knit and again had a wonderful time. I had 6 in the group and 4 of them were boys so it made for an interesting bit of training for me.
I did help one boy finish the scarf that he had knit. He just needed the ends sewing in so I helped him get that done so now his scarf is ready to be given to his teacher before the end of the school year. Another boy had been working on his scarf and needed a bit of help so got him going again as well.
I am going back to the group this week to see how the scarves are going and help anyone that needs it before the group breaks up due to school finishing. It is going to be fun to see how many of the scarves have actually been finished because so far I have seen 2 completed and a bunch more being worked on so Friday is the big day.
What I didn't realize is how much these children were going to effect me. I went in figuring I was just going to help them learn to knit but I have figured out that I am also teaching them patience and understanding. Last Friday when I walked into the room I was greeted with a huge scream of "Miss Darlene is here" and most of the kids running over to tell me about their progress. I am going to miss these kids after this week but at least I should see them in the neighbourhood.
