Knitting Machines

Help me give my students the opportunity to work more with fiber arts. They love creating stuffies and hats which can wear in the cold Maine weather.

My Project

I'm an elementary school librarian. A lot of my students have been learning to crochet and knit. These knitting machines stored on the requested handicraft trays give them a chance to create projects faster and build confidence before tackling handmade projects. These kiddos are obsessed with fiber arts and I would love to support them even more. We currently have two machines for student use and there is always a line for them. Often resulting in weeks before students get a turn. This also gives younger learners an opportunity to join the world of fiber arts.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
