French Knitting

We are continuing our fabric and fibre art unit by learning how to knit on home-made knitting machines.
French, or spool, knitting is a traditional way to teach children the basic principles of knitting.
We have had a look at some of the things we can make once we have our 'snakes' completed. 
It is really, really fun because it is relaxing and easy.

Lydia and I have joined ours together to make a mat to sit on in the classroom.

It's fun to have relaxing music playing in the background.

I'm going to make a scarf.

We can make awesome things like hats, cup warmers, pencil grips and bookmarks.
