My Project

I plan to use these supplies to introduce something new to my students that they would enjoy, but may be out of their wheelhouse.

The crochet supplies, such as yarn and crochet hooks, will be used to encourage and push my students to be creative, learn a new craft and think outside their comfort zone.

The goal is for them to make for themselves or another. From a sting to something wonderful!

What makes my students special is that they come from such diverse backgrounds, that a crochet class will help them enjoy each others gifts.
