Knit+&+Crochet

= Welcome to the Knit & Crochet Site =

Each year we gather a group of students who would like to learn to knit or crochet or students and faculty who already know how to do each or both crafts and want to get together to create and share their creations with each other people. This year we are starting earlier. My hope is that we can have a great group of students and staff so that we can pass on these timeless and important crafts to other. Also in my hopes is that by using out talents we can do works of charity for those in our community who are less fortunate then ourselves. My goal this year is to knit or crochet scarves, hats, and/or shall for those who are homeless, living in shelters, and those seniors in nursing facilities. If you are interested in being a part of this group please contact me at: makehurs@rhs.k12.ar.us or stop by room 1182.

Have a great day! See you at lunch Mrs. Akehurst

On Tuesdays and Thursdays during B lunch.
 * We will meet in room 1182 Mrs. Akehurst room during lunch.

We will have our first meeting this coming Thursday 17, 2009 Bring either your crochet hooks or knitting needles and some yarn.**

**What do I need and where do I get it?**
To Knit: **A pair of needles size 9 to 10's would be the best. Yarn--just Red Hart regular yarn, do not get a bulky or fluffy yarn when you are first learning--it makes it harder to see your stitches.** To Crochet:** A crochet hook: size I, J or K will do just fine. Yarn--just Red Hart regular yarn, do not get a bulky or fluffy yarn when you are first learning--it makes it harder to see your stitches.
 * Depends on what you want to learn.**

I will supply directional sheet on each craft to help you out further.

Places to purchase the supplies.
Depends on the amount of money you can part with these are some locations you can shop at. Hobby Lobby Wal-Mart Knit Wicks (downtown Rogers) Herrschners (on-line)
