Yesterday was the 'reward' for my son's second grade class for working so hard throughout the year to learn to knit and for working together to create scarves and a blanket that will be donated to needy members of our community.
Yesterday was 'Dyeing Day'. Armed with 20 quart-sized canning jars, a bag full of Kool Aid packets, a double burner with pots, a plastic table cloth and 20 skeins of undyed yarn (courtesy of Brown Sheep Wool Co.), I called the children of Mrs. Sowder's second grade to the floor of her classroom and taught them to dye wool.
The kids had a ball watching the colors they chose bleed into the jar and mix and mingle.
They are gripped with anticipation to see the results of their unbridled creativity.
And I have a sneak preview...
