The Loomacy

I started pulling out the knitting looms and the yarn.  The beginning is always a fiasco.  I don't know why I do it.

Yesterday a Thirdlander asked for help and I told him to roll up his yarn because there was a strand of about 4 feet tangled in his loom.  5 minutes later he returned to me with about 30 feet of yarn stretched across the classroom, in various knots and tangles.  We put it on my desk and I fixed it after school.

Several Thirdlanders were desperate to bring their looms home yesterday.  I relented because I'm a sap.  Who knows how many will come back today? Every year, several kids lose looms. I just give them new looms, new yarn.

The good part of this loom project is that some kids learn how to make hats with the looms. Also, some kids seem happy and calm when they're using the knitting looms. We're far away from the hat stage, but the calm happiness has descended over a few of the Thirdlander Knitters. So, there's that.
