Students keep on knitting

What can kids do in mid-April when it’s snowing outside, windy, and -10 degrees? The students at Elizabeth Middle School’s knitting club have an answer; they are busy creating warm and fuzzy items.

Elizabeth School’s knitting club meets every Wednesday from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. throughout the school year. The club usually has seven members who participate. Some of the students are just learning the skill of knitting, while others are more experienced. The more experienced crafters are busy making toys, scarves, mittens, dish cloths, blankets and more.

Knitting is one more way for the students to be creative, and have fun indoors during a snowy, spring day in Saskatchewan.
