3rd Graders: A Lesson in Mindfulness!!

Another 3rd grade Masters Class yesterday.  Some are little pros already.  One girl knitted a vest for her stuffed animal already!  I think she's practicing at home!!!!  Adorable.  It's cute to sit back and watch them in their little groups like a bunch of hens just knitting away, chatting about their world.  There's 2 who've lost interest but the rest are going to town.  A small group started learning to purl as they're advancing.  Thank goodness I had my 2 helpers again thanks Tricia and grandma Annie.  Would have been quite a stretch to maintain order by myself.  It's exhausting though I can tell you.  WOW!  But so glad I'm doing it.  One more class next week.

It is sure a lesson in mindfulness as you can't focus on anything else but now.  Even if you try sneaking a peak at your phone, someone will need you to tell them they're doing it right or ... not so much and restart.  I am getting good at picking up dropped stitches thought, thankful for the size 13's, which makes it easy to do with your bare hands  :)
