    Cool Knitting instructor

    Yup. That's me
    I just met with the director of the arts & crafts center on our military post and agreed to instruct knitting classes on a volunteer basis starting in September.

    Now I need to get a loose lesson plan in place and figure out where I'm going to have the time for knitting classes in between my 17 credit hours next semester

    Hey that's great, I hope this teaching class brings in some extra cash for ya in the long run, maybe some private knitting lessons?

    I think that's great... the spouses and family need something to occupy their minds from time to time and it's productive as well.

    I know I have seen different military hospitals in need of knitted baby things too
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    I just knew this would happen with you Heather! Congratulations! You just remind me so much of my friend Liz. She has always said that when she started knitting she had found her niche. She is a natural at knitting and spinning and she makes the most beautiful things in no time, including sweaters.
