You probably know that yesterday was Earth Day (I hope you know that!). As part of an Earth Day celebration locally, I did a spinning demonstration/ sustainable fibers discussion Friday at Freshwater Elementary & Charter School. Eight groups of 20-40 K-8 students later, and I was exhausted. How do teachers do it day in and day out?!? But the day was a success; the kids seemed to enjoy themselves and I spun a single that will be for sale at COLORBOMB Creations later this week, called 'Eco-Groovy'. For a preview, check out this knit sample.Want more Earth Day information?

Wow, your brave, I want to kill the little kids at the fair, and the parents are there. Hope you help to educate them about sustaiable fibers:)
ReplyDeletethey were cool, for the most part. i had fun with it; talked about dinosaurs, moth spit, and plastic in the context of yarn and spinning. they just wanted to know how to spin, which was great.
ReplyDeleteI spent Earth Day hiding from pollen and the wonders of nature
